paperclip

I followed this guide to use paperclip http://railscasts.com/episodes/134-paperclip?language=en&view=asciicast it is all ok but note that to enable resizing you’ll need to have ImageMagick installed on your server. So how should i install ImageMagick ?? i have WINDOWS 8 and on the site http://www.imagemagick.org/ download does not work!!!! It certainly works - you need to make sure of 2 things: You install the correct static version for your OS (32-bit vs 64-bit). The 32-bit (x86) will work regardless, the 64-bit (x64) will only work on a 64-bit system. And you need to download the static

I've been stuck on this for ages now and can't figure out what's wrong. There are a lot of people that seem to have this same problem, but I can't actually find any answers that actually work. production.rb config.paperclip_defaults = { :storage => :s3, :s3_credentials => { :bucket => ENV['my bucket name is here'], :access_key_id => ENV['my key is here'], :secret_access_key => ENV['my secret key is here'] } } game.rb require 'aws/s3' class Game < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :swf, :swf_file_name, :name, :description, :category, :age_group, :dimension_x, :dimension_y, :image, :image_file

I'm trying to upload images to aws s3 with paperclip but I get this error Command :: file -b --mime '/var/folders/d_/k4_ps9hj5fj_3df5t210vjym0000gn/T/2611a2396a4af6938e5c5867c8bb409f20140515-7787-1u773ft.jpg' Command :: identify -format '%wx%h,%[exif:orientation]' '/var/folders/d_/k4_ps9hj5fj_3df5t210vjym0000gn/T/2611a2396a4af6938e5c5867c8bb409f20140515-7787-1rep3kt.jpg[0]' 2>/dev/null [paperclip] An error was received while processing: #<Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError: Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError> Command :: identify -format '%wx%h,%[exif:orientation

Is there anyway to throw a validation error if a user tries to upload the same photo twice to a Rails app using Paperclip? Paperclip doesn't seem to offer this functionality... I'm using Rails 2.3.5 and Paperclip (obviously). SOLUTION: (or one of them, at least) Using Beerlington's suggestion, I decided to go with an MD5 Checksum comparison: class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base #... has_attached_file :image #, ... before_validation_on_create :generate_md5_checksum validate :unique_photo #... def generate_md5_checksum self.md5_checksum = Digest::MD5.hexdigest(image.to_file.read) end def unique

Paperclip doc about url options: You can choose to have the bucket's name placed domain-style (bucket.s3.amazonaws.com) or path-style (s3.amazonaws.com/bucket). How would look like the setup to actually have bucket's name placed domain-style? I can't force paperclip to generate urls like bucket.s3.amazonaws.com instead of s3.amazonaws.com/bucket. Just set it like this: Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:url] = ':s3_domain_url' Or like this: Paperclip::Attachment.default_options.merge!( :url => ':s3_domain_url' ) Add :url and :path to the Paperclip default options in your application.rb or

I'm trying to enable video upload in my post. Can't get it to display the video. The video gets uploaded, I can confirm that while i manage to right click on the video area and download it. The problem is how to view it correctly.
