Hi,
I posted a similar question quite recently, as all the tutorials I found
online were incorrect.
I have some basic code that works for uploading files, which I have
pasted below. It has no error checking of any kind at the moment.
Hope it helps,
Jen.
Model:
class DataFile < ActiveRecord::Base
#takes the upload object and extracts the file.
def self.save(upload)
name = upload['upload'].original_filename
directory = "public/data/upload"
# create the file path
path = File.join(directory, name)
# write the file
File.open(path, "wb") { |f| f.write(upload['upload'].read) }
end
end
Controller:
class UploadController < ApplicationController
def index
#Renders a fiew for the user.
render 'upload.rhtml'
end
def create
#posts to the data model.
post = DataFile.save(params[:upload])
puts "file uploaded"
render 'upload'
end
end
View:
<h1>File Upload</h1>
<% form_for(:upload, :url=>{ :controller=>"upload", :action=>"create"},
:html => {:multipart => true}) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :"File to upload" %>
<%= f.file_field :upload%>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
