Attachment_fu plugin is kind of old, but I have to modify an old app and I can't use another plugin like paperclip etc. So here's the code without further ado

Submissions table structure
---------------------------
| content_type        | varchar(255) | YES  |     | NULL
| filename            | varchar(255) | YES  |     | NULL


app/models/submission.rb
------------------------
has_attachment :storage => :file_system,
           :path_prefix => 'public/submissions',
           :max_size => 2.megabytes,
           :content_type => ['application/pdf', 'application/msword', 'text/plain']   

app/models/user.rb
------------------
has_one :submission, :dependent => :destroy


app/views/user/some_action.html.erb
-----------------------------------
<% form_for :user, :url => { :action => "some_action" }, :html => {:multipart => true} do |f| %>
....
  <%= file_field_tag "submission[uploaded_data]" %>
<%end%>

app/controllers/user_controller.rb
----------------------------------
@user = User.find_user(session[:user_id])
@submission = @user.submission
if request.post?
  @submission.uploaded_data = params[:submission][:uploaded_data]
end

When the form is submitted, the database fields "content_type" and "filename" get updated and display the correct values, but the file does not appear in public/submissions/ directory. I have checked the permissions on the submissions directory.

What am I missing?

Many Thanks

A: 

have u tried the :partition option. it gets files partition in directories like /0000/0001/image.jpg. The default value is true. Make it false. i didn't try it.. but i think u missed this option...
