Hi all, I have a really really annoying problem that's driving me nuts with file_field and paperclip and having to upload images everytime a form is edited even though the user is quite happy with the currently uploaded image or loose the previously uploaded image.
This seems to be caused by the rails file_field helper not storing the data that has been read in from the db in the same way that other field helpers do and therfore unless an image is uploaded everytime the form is updated the data for the current image does not get sent back to the controller in the params hash. This in turn causes the model to believe that the data has been deleted. This is obviously a problem with the rails helper as it should work the same way as all the other field helpers do and retain the data somehow but right now I need a work around. Javascript is not an option as the site is a W3C AAA compliant site and creating a seperate form is just plain wrong as the user has enough to do without adding more button clicks. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
