If you’re going to upload files via an HTML form, the form’s encoding must be set to multipart/form-data. In Rails, you use a helper method to generate the form tags, so you can’t directly edit them. The preferred helper is form_for; that’s what scaffold generates.
Normally, a form_for call would look like this:
<% form_for(@entry) do |f| %> <!-- Form fields --> <% end %>
To make this form be multipart, change the call to the following:
<% form_for(@entry, :html => {:multipart => true}) do |f| %>
<!-- Form fields -->
<% end %>

There are a issue with Rails 2.3:
uninitialized constant FileColumn::ClassMethods::Inflector
….
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:440:in `load_missing_constant’
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:80:in `const_missing’
C:/ror/gia/vendor/plugins/file_column/lib/file_column.rb:619:in `file_column’
Any idea for fix it?
thanks
