    <p>So I just added paperclip and migrated it to a table called users_pictures. My Model looks like this:</p> <pre><code>class UsersPicture &lt; ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :user_id, :users_picture_file, :users_picture_id, :photo_file_name, :photo_content_type, :photo_file_size belongs_to :users has_attached_file :photo, :url =&gt; "/images/:attachment/:basename.:extension", :path =&gt; ":rails_root/public/images/:attachment/:basename.:extension" end </code></pre> <p>So when I am accessing the "new.html.erb" page, I can add a picture to the form ... give it the user_id and submit. Rails does not show me any errors and the log even says:</p> <pre><code>Processing by UsersPicturesController#create as HTML Parameters: {"commit"=&gt;"Create Users picture",` "authenticity_token"=&gt;"0tbAZj5MKyN/uaj0ybaNsa0dZrxeS05OJNNA3ZNO8Uc=", "users_picture"=&gt;{"user_id"=&gt;"12", "photo"=&gt;#&lt;ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile:0xe028dbd4 @content_type="image/jpeg", @tempfile=#&lt;File:/tmp/RackMultipart20121019-14239-1edlwpp-0&gt;, @headers="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"users_picture[photo]\"; filename=\"rh.jpeg \"\r\nContent-Type: image/jpeg\r\n", @original_filename="rh.jpeg"&gt;}, "utf8"=&gt;"✓"} [paperclip] Saving attachments. Redirected to xxxx/users_pictures/8 Completed 302 Found in 18ms (ActiveRecord: 1.2ms) </code></pre> <p>But the fileinfo is not being saved into database ... so I cannot display it. Firebug tells me something about the parameters for the POST method:</p> <pre><code>authenticity_token 0tbAZj5MKyN/uaj0ybaNsa0dZrxeS05OJNNA3ZNO8Uc= users_picture[user_id] 12 users_picture[photo] ÿØÿà�JFIF������ÿÛ�� !"&amp;# /!$'),,-180*5*+,) 0%"5)-,*4,,,*,),),,,,,,,,,,,,,))),,,*,),,,,),),,,)).,ÿÀ��Ì�Ì"�ÿÄ��������������ÿÄ�E� ����!1AQ"aq2#BRbr¡3²¢±ÁÑ4SÓ%Cs£ÒáÿÄ������������ÿÄ�%��������!1"A2BQq¡ÿÚ���?�Þ4¥()JJRR ¥pLªXl °ôR|¨u]Þýú </code></pre> <p>And so on. So it is not saving the path into the database but the sourcecode of the picture? As you can see, I already set :url and :path (even without the :attachment because I don't know what it is)</p> <p>In general, I just wanted to upload pictures to a certain path; and store the file information like name and size in my database.</p> <p>My form from the view-folder looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_for(@users_picture, :html =&gt; { :multipart =&gt; true }) do |f| %&gt; ... &lt;%= f.file_field :photo %&gt; </code></pre> <p>I will not post the show and index.html.erb because displaying is another thing - I first have to achieve to save all the data in the database + upload the pictures to certain folders. Any advice on how to do it correctly ?</p>

    1. COIt doesn't look like anything is going wrong at this stage. Why do you say the file info is not being saved in your database? What's the result of `User.find(12).user_photo` (or `.user_photos` if it's a `has_many` relation)? The problem is likely with retrieving the uploaded file, not saving it (as you can see, paperclip says that it's saving the image in your server log).

    2. COYeah it's like the FILE is not being handled at all. User.find(12).users_pictures gives for example #<UsersPicture users_picture_id: 42, user_id: 12, photo_file_name: nil, photo_content_type: nil, photo_file_size: nil>

    3. COHmm. What's your controller action that processes the form submit look like?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
