This plugin allows you to easily integrate SWFUpload to your Ruby on Rails application
script/plugin install git://github.com/alex3t/swfupload_fu.git
SWFUpload required some javascripts and stylesheets. For this you can use SWFUploadFu helper in your views
<head>
<title>...</title>
<%=swfupload_head %>
</head>
Now you can place swfupload form anywhere on your page. You need provide only url hash, same as for url_for
<%=swfupload :controller=>'assets',:action=>'upload'%>
If you want modify swfupload form template then change /app/views/shared/_swfupload_form.html.erb. Keep only elements and their IDs.
Attachment_Fu integration
You able access uploaded file from params[:Filedata] in your upload action.
Because flash send file data without correct type, you need set content type yourself using mime-types gem(gem install mime-types). For example:
require 'mime/types'
class Asset < ActiveRecord::Base
has_attachment
def swf_uploaded_data=(data)
data.content_type = MIME::Types.type_for(data.original_filename)
self.uploaded_data = data
end
end
class AssetsController < ApplicationController
def upload
@file = Asset.new :swf_uploaded_data => params[:Filedata]
@file.save
...
end
end
