paperclip

I use paperclip to attach an avatar to users, which works fine but when a new user attempts to register it complains about the avatar bieng too small and not of the right type. This is how i validate my avatars: validates_attachment_size :avatar, :less_than => 1.megabytes validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, :content_type => ['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/gif'] This is the error i get when i try to register. There were problems with the following fields: * Avatar file size file size must be between 0 and 1048576 bytes. * Avatar content type is not included in the list is there anyway

I am trying to use the paperclip plugin in my rails app to upload images for posts. I am using Rails 2.0.2 and ruby 1.8.7 on Ubuntu 10.04 os for project specific purposes. I am referring to the following tutorials for this :- http://railscasts.com/episodes/134-paperclip?view=comments http://jimneath.org/2008/04/17/paperclip-attaching-files-in-rails.html I did a git clone on the paperclip plugin via:- https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip , but the command like ruby script/generate paperclip group_post photo didn't generate a migration for it. I then created a migration for the same through

How do I fetch the file size of each style of a paperclip attachment? @user.attachment_file_size doesn't seem to work @user.attachment(:style).size gives a number not related to the actual file size I didn't find either how to get the file size for a given style , other than the original one. As seen in the paperclip source code , @user.attachment.size returns the size of the file as originally assigned. There is no way to get it for a specific style... A solution would be: open(@user.attachment(:style)).size But not efficient at all. To do it well, you should probably add some "custom size"

I am running Ruby on Rails 3 and I would like to reduce the quality of an uploading image using the Paperclip plugin/gem. How can I do that? At this time in my model file I have: has_attached_file :avatar, :styles => { :thumb => ["50x50#", :jpg], :medium => ["250x250#", :jpg], :original => ["600x600#", :jpg] } that will convert images in to the .jpg format and will set dimensions. Try using convert_options. has_attached_file :avatar, :styles => { :thumb => '50x50#' }, :convert_options => { :thumb => '-quality 80' } Peter Brown From the paperclip wiki , there's an option for quality: class User

I'm trying to make a create product page in rails. This includes adding multiple images. I have one model for products one for photos and for users. I'm using the paperclip gem for photo upload. But I have 2 problems. My file input is not allowing me to select multiple images When I view a product no pictures show because pictures are not being saved to database P.S. I use HAML and I dont have a photo controller. Products controller class ProductsController < ApplicationController before_filter :current_user, only: [:create, :destory] before_filter :correct_user, only: :destory def new

I would like to use a single file-field for multiple formats. It was my understanding that Paperclip was smart enough to only scale images and leave other formats alone, but this doesn't seem to work for flv's (which returns imagemagick/identify-errors). Is there any way to help Paperclip a bit and explicitly setup specific formats to scale? UPDATE: Apparently, these errors are prevented with :whiny=>false (thanks fl00r), which works fine for regular uploads. However, what I'm trying to do here is uploading the file by FTP, and later on create a new record by code with a File.new([:path]) in

I have added this in my models file: has_one :avatar, :as => :imageable, :dependent => :destroy validates_presence_of :avatar, :message => "can't be empty" But I am not getting any error message if the field is left blank.I am only getting Please review the problems below: at the top of my page.
