Hi all, What would be the best design if I wanted a RubyOnRails basic CMS that would allow HTML/images to be uploaded and viewed by users who were allowed to see them. In particular what would be a good / robust way to host the files? For example:
a) Let Apache web server (i.e. not RoR engine) host them - this would require RoR could save the files out on the Unix/Linux box to an approach location under the web server (not sure how possible this is). Also it means that user management would need to be integrated/handled by Apache (could be an issue perhaps?) b) Let RoR application store them in it's own directory area, but not under the "/public" directory as this could be visible on web for the right URL - once stored on file, then the image tag URL in the HTML pages would need to tell the RoR application to get them via a specific controller/action which would then have to retrieve them and stream them out... c) As per b) above but stored in a mysql database -- Greg http://blog.gregnet.org/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
