How to assign a remote file to Carrierwave?

Question

I have video model with the following definition:

class Video
  require \'carrierwave/orm/activerecord\'
  mount_uploader :attachment, VideoUploader
  mount_         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me, with CarrierWave 0.5.8

model.update_attributes(:remote_uploader_url => "http://path/to/image.jpg")

Of course, you need to set remote_uploader_url to be attr_accessible for this.
