@rox it’s been a really long time since I have worked with ROR. If you managed to get it working with rails 3 feel free to share your experience and I can update the code. Thx

thanks @Javier for reporting the “jQuery File Tree” broken link. I have updated the link and there you should find detailed instructions about the script with links to demos etc… then you can come back here and follow the steps. I haven’t tested it with Rails 3 though, so I can’t guarantee it will work.

Hey guys, I have updated the source & demo to resolve the path issues.
@mridge50 and everyone having the empty box issue, please make sure you database is accessible and that your are not getting any exceptions or errors in the console.

@mridge50 please try to run the demo and see if that works with the included jQuery version.

oh yeah, I also get the empty box problem which I believe is caused by the above error.

I’m getting this error using jquery 1.4.2 using the examples above.
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches “/jqueryfiletree/content”):
any ideas?

Hi, it’s so good for me. but there were several problems for me. It’s fixed now.

Symptoms very similar with above

It worked well by ["http://localhost" or "http://localhost/controller"]
but didn’t worked by ["http://localhost/controller/" or "http://localhost/controller/action"]

I think it’s required to insert ‘/’ at begining of path of stylesheet or script
otherwise, server interprets “jqueryfiletree/content” as “controller”. So it doesn’t work.

Hi, this is helpful thanks, couple of things for me that were problems:

- had to change stylesheet and js references to have “/” at begining
- had to change $(’#fileTree’).fileTree({ root: ”, script: ‘jqueryfiletree/content’ }, function(file) {
to
$(’#fileTree’).fileTree({ root: ”, script: ‘/jqueryfiletree/content’ }, function(file) {
