Dropzone with Rails form not saving to database

Question

I am having a problem getting dropzone to save to my database. It's showing that the fields are coming in from the logs, but it's not saving.

%section#profile-editor
      .row
        .small-12.columns
          %h2 Edit Profile
      .row
        .small-12.columns
          .well
            = form_for(current_artist, url: artist_registration_path, method: 'PUT', html: {multipart: true, class: :dropzone, id: 'photo-dropzone'}) do |form|
              .row
                .small-4.columns
                  %input#photo-dropzone{:name => "image", :type => "file"}/
                  = form.hidden_field :image, value: params[:image]
                .small-8.columns
                  .row
                    .small-12.columns
                      = form.label :name
                      = form.text_field :name
                    .small-6.columns
                      = form.label :website_url, "Website URL"
                      = form.text_field :website_url
                    .small-6.columns
                      = form.label :itunes_url, "Itunes URL"
                      = form.text_field :itunes_url
                    .small-6.columns
                      = form.label :video_url, "Youtube Video URL (For Profile)"
                      = form.text_field :video_url
                    .small-6.columns
                      = form.label :email, "Admin Email"
                      = form.text_field :email
                    .small-6.columns
                      = form.label :city, "City"
                      = form.text_field :city
                    .small-6.columns
                      = form.label :state, "State"
                      = form.text_field :state
              .row
                .small-12.columns.pad-top
                  = form.label :about_me, "Content"
                  = form.text_area :about_me, class: "editor"
              = submit_tag "Submit", class: "button button-green"

       (0.4ms)  COMMIT

I'm really lost on where to go with this. Something isn't set up right and I cant quite figure it out.

Answer 1

The image attribute inside the artist param collection ( "artist"=>{"image"=>""} ) is actually blank, that's why the attach is not saved. Try changing this line:

%input#photo-dropzone{:name => "image", :type => "file"}

To:

%input#photo-dropzone{:name => "artist[image]", :type => "file"}

That should force the image attribute to go inside the artist collection in the params.

Let me know if that helps.
