paperclip

It's it possible to fetch an image via url using PaperClip ? It's possible with fleximage, but fleximage has no support for Rails3 so I've switched over to paperclip. At present, I'm fetching the image via curl, saving it on the hdd and load it via image_file of paperclip. I've found no real solution via google, so hopefully you can help me. Yes this is possible and amazingly simple. In your model: #we use this to get the image. require 'rest-open-uri' Class Model << ActiveRecord::Base has_attached_file :picture #Get the picture from a given url. def picture_from_url(url) self.picture = open

I made myself a simple rails blogging-type app where I use Paperclip to upload image files.I have everything working fine and dandy. I even have it hooked up to an S3 bucket, etc. Spiffy right? But I can't figure what to do when EDITING/UPDATING a post. As is stands now, all I have is this field on my form template: = f.file_field :image So, say on "post/5/edit" even if there's a previously attached image, the field displays "No file chosen". Even worse, there's no apparent way to clear out current image if I change my mind and don't want to attach an image. How do I make this a little more

I'm aware that there are several posts on Stackoverflow and several tutorials about this subject. None of them however manage to solve my issue and most of them are outdated as well. I am trying to add multiple images to a project using the paperclip gem in Rails 4. When i try uploading it i do see the asset attached in the params.

This is my projects_controller class ProjectsController < ApplicationController before_filter :find_project, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy] def index @projects =

I have a model called posts, and it has many attachments. The attachments model is using paperclip. I made a standalone model for creating attachments which works just fine, this is the view as instructed here (https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip): <% form_for :attachment, @attachment, :url => @attachment, :html => { :multipart => true } do |form| %> <%= form.file_field :pclip %> <%= form.submit %> <% end %> The nested form in posts looks like this: <% @attachment = @posts.attachments.build %> <%= form_for(@posts) do |f| %> <% if @posts.errors.any? %> <div id="error_explanation"> <h2><%=

I have a Photo model with an image attribute. The image contains a base64 string obtained from an api. I need to run an after_create callback and I was thinking I could use Paperclip for saving the image to the disk in the callback as it would save me some work implementing the folder structure in the public folder and generating thumbnails. Is there an easy way to do that? To answer my own question, here is what I've come up with: class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base before_validation :set_image has_attached_file :image, styles: { thumb: "x100>" } validates_attachment :image, presence: true,
