Merb + attachment_fu

[Luke Francl]

Merbists,

I saw a note in the attachment_fu source code regarding supporting Merb[1]
as well as a post on the Caboose forum[2].

Has anyone gotten Merb working with Rick Olson's attachment_fu to handle
uploads for a Rails app?

I've hacked together something, but it's not pretty. Besides fixing the TODO
mentioned in the attachment_fu source code to support Merb tempfiles, the
main thing I've done is change is attachment_fu's init.rb to manually load
the files in its lib directory (and, trivially, define the RAILS_ROOT
constant in merb_init.rb).

I think this is due to the way that merb loads plugins
(Dir[DIST_ROOT+"/plugins/*/init.rb"].each { |m| require m }) versus how
Rails loads plugins (see Rails::Initializer#load_plugin). Any thoughts on
making Merb able to load a typical Rails ActiveRecord plugin more easily?

Regards,
Luke Francl
