Working With Rails

By using it! ;-) Sorry, but where is the problem?

Just to clarify Abolfazi. Are you trying to send a file back to the user after a record is created? Or are you trying to save a file to the server after a record is created?

you might want to send the file when you have created a record! for this after_create, after_save may be the relative things you want to use, but they are available in the model and you cant call the send_file from the model.

So the easiest solution for this is:

In some controller when you are creating the record

@file = File.create( some parameters for the file )
send_file “path_to_file/file.extention” if @file ( you can also use it like send_file “path_to_file/file.extention” return false if @file if nothing to do after the sending file )

if you have a sequence of steps to some where you can use a variable instead of @file which should decide either to send the file or not!
