Problema: Estou usando TyneMCE ou FCKEditor em minha aplicação Rails, quero um gerenciador de imagens pra ontem!
Problem: I´m using TyneMCE or FCKEditor in my Rails app as well as the File Mananger does not work ! I require this due yesterday!!
First Step: Use a plugin to insert this Rich-Text editors in Rails may prove to be a great time saver !

TinyMCE: http://github.com/kete/tiny_mce/tree/master

FCKEditor: http://rubyforge.org/projects/fckeditorp/
Optional: This article: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/howtousetinymce raise some thoughts about security IMHO at all times a useful wast of brain cells..
Still if the plugin don´t do the image job endeavour my fast solution -would be this: a iFrame below the text area!
iframe with files


-Because the plugin support drag-and-drop you can drag the thumbs or the full pictures as well as drop where you want.. great?!

Uploading:



Way simple..
Showing:


Ok.. basic Portuguese lesson:

lista = list

adicionar = add

Imagens de Notícias = News Pictures

Caminho: = path

Dimensões: = (like ~) width height

Tamanho:  = size

Enviar = Send

Well you figure out the rest.. =)
How to do: You shall require the following plugins: 

attachment_fu
mislav-will_paginate

Now manufacture a scaffold (just on behalf of laziness) with this params: mananger filename:string
Cause I don´t like migrations.. in your database create something like:



CREATE TABLE  `mydatabase`.`manangers` (

  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,

  `filename` varchar(80) default NULL,

  `content_type` varchar(40) default NULL,

  `size` int(10) unsigned default NULL,

  `height` int(10) unsigned default NULL,

  `width` int(10) unsigned default NULL,

  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)

)


On CONTROLLER: manangers_controller.rb:

class ManangersController  params[:page], :order =>”id DESC” # we desire the new first

  end

  def show

    @mananger = Mananger.find(params[:id])

  end
  def new

    @mananger = Mananger.new

  end
  def create

    @mananger = Mananger.new(params[:mananger])
    respond_to do |format|

      if @mananger.save

        flash[:notice] = ‘Upload com sucesso.’

        format.html { redirect_to(@mananger) }

        format.xml  { render :xml => @mananger, :status => :created, :location => @mananger }

      else

        flash[:notice] = ‘Falha no upload’

        format.html { render :action => “new” }

        format.xml  { render :xml => @mananger.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }

      end

    end

  end
  def destroy

    @mananger = Mananger.find(params[:id])

    @mananger.destroy
    respond_to do |format|

      format.html { redirect_to(manangers_url) }

      format.xml  { head :ok }

    end

  end

end


On MODEL mananger.rb:

class Mananger  " already exist !"

  has_attachment :content_type => :image,

                 :path_prefix => ‘public/files’,

                 :storage => :file_system,

                 :size => 1..1048576, # 2MB

                 :partition => false

  validates_as_attachment

end
On VIEWS we are going to utilize 3:

index.html.erb:

   

Imagens de Notícias

	<!–
 –>

	<!–
 –>


80) %>


px x px


 |  




new.html.erb:


UPLOAD
 { :multipart => true }) do |f| %>

    


show.html.erb



	Caminho:


	Dimensões: px x px


	Tamanho:



DONE !
Now.. you desire to position this in a iframe over or under one Rich-Text WYSWIG insert something like this:
