Someone has, and they posted the code on the wiki. If it's not working then it would be more helpful to know what error you are getting.

this is the error i got

undefined method ‘read’ for “c:\modernchef.txt”:String

this is the model that i wrote

def self.save(metro_upload) File.open(“Metro_SQL/#{metro_upload[‘name’]}/metro.sql”, “w”) {

 >f>

 $readedFile = f.read(metro_upload['sql_file'].read)

 f.write($readedFile)
}

end

end

Check out the acts_as_attachment plugin it works great. Here is a tutorial for it from the author of the plugin http://weblog.techno-weenie.net/articles/acts_as_attachment

Your bug is probably in this line:

     $readedFile = f.read(metro_upload['sql_file'].read)

Since that's the only one with calls to a method named 'read' (note the error message). And since f.read is definitely a valid method call, the second one would seem the likely culprit. Why are you calling metro_upload['sql_file'].read? Isn't the value of metro_upload['sql_file'] "c:\\modernchef.txt"?

Hi,

You can use 'file_column' to control file/image uploadings
