For anyone having the InvalidAuthenticityToken error, check out this comment from my blog post that followed this article:

(@vincent's comment at the bottom)

QUOTE:
Thank you for the instructions. For Rails 2.3.5, you should delete both of the following lines in your photo or asset controller:
#session :cookie_only => false, :only => :create
#skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :only => ['create', 'destroy']
Instead, follow the example below to make SWFUpload work with Rails session, i.e. to avoid the InvalidAuthenticityToken error: http://github.com/lardawge/swfupload-rails-auth....
When you follow the example above, pay attention to the following:
1. Changes in the javascript in the photo views.
2. Changes in session_store.rb and environment.rb to refer to the app/middleware folder, which you should copy from the example.
Good luck and have fun.

Hello,
I tried as your said, but Im getting 302 error because my controller is redirecting me for the login page.
I've placed your initializer and the session line on the controller.
Im usiging authlogic, any idea where i could look for a fix?

An old post but still useful and comes up near the top on google for rails swfupload,

But if you'd replace
MIME::Types.type_for(data.original_filename).to_s
with
MIME::Types.type_for(data.original_filename).first.content_type

You'd save some headaches.

Yeah not easy to implement this upload feature. We actually need a kind of “official” way of doing things. Implementing such feature might break in the next release of Rails don't you think?

[...] Let’s go see http://localhost:3000/galleries and play around. Add a gallery and then go to edit it. This is where we’ll add SWFUpload. Follow Jim Neath’s advice for this. [...]

Hi Jim,

Thought I would let you know I created a branch here: http://tiny.cc/swfuploadrailsauthentication using paperclip. So there is an example with both attachment_fu and paperclip now. Only made sense because I actually use paperclip in my own projects.

I did

git clone git://github.com/JimNeath/swfupload—paperclip-example-app.git
cd swfupload—paperclip-example-app

rake db:migrate

and get

rake aborted!
undefined method `cache_template_extensions=’ for ActionView::Base:Class

My RAILS_GEM_VERSION is 2.2.2

Is there an easy way to get past this?

Hi, I have been trying to battle with using the demo app with Rails 2.3 with no success yet. My question is that whether using CGI::Session is still feasible with Rails 2.3. After using the application in 2.3 I have found that my files do not get uploaded at all. I am looking for solution which uses CGi Session instead of Rack,

I am having the same problem as @peter. I get the “browse” button bug. Nothing happens when I click it.
