Hello,

i've installed Carrierwave and Fog, so i can upload to Amazon S3. Everything is configured properly and it works only when id add

````ruby
field :url, :file_upload do ...
````

to my 'rails_admin.rb'. When i do that, it shows the field properly and uploads the asset but when i try to edit afterwards i get an error: "Not implemented".

Now i've read on the File Upload Wiki that the 'file_upload' field is only a virtual field and should not be used directly so i guess that's why i get the error.

However, when i remove it and just use

````ruby
field :url do...
````
i don't and upload field for "url" but a "text" field instead, since "url" is database type of "text". Any idea what's going on?
