Currently I have followed these instructions to get aws s3 working in
my rails app
http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?entryID=608
But its a little messy as a lot of the file uploading is actually done
in the controller when I think it should be done in the model.
Currently its done like this
class PhotoController < ApplicationController
before_filter :login_required
layout ‘scaffold’
#load model
model :s3_model
#create S3::AWS handle
S3Model.init(@config_file)
The current files to load in the aws are:
/lib/S3.rb (ruby library to connect to aws)
/model/s3_model.rb
What I would like to do is put all of the aws s3 calls in the model
when uploading a photo. I’m thinking instead to do this…
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
include S3
model :s3_model
#create S3::AWS handle
S3Model.init(@config_file)
But if I do this… this would only given accessibility to the aws
handler in the controller and not the model right?
If I had a class ProfilePicture < ActiveRecord::Base how would I give
the aws handler visibility there?
thanks in advance!
