Displaying a Carrierwave filename in the view

Question

I am trying to display the filename of a Carrierwave attachment in a Rails erb template. The following does not work:

<%= @page.form.filename %>
         


        

Answer 1

The documentation you're looking at is the sanitized file, it's what it uses for actually storing a file. The part you're looking for is FormUploader, which is an Uploader, and part of http://rubydoc.info/gems/carrierwave/0.5.2/CarrierWave/Uploader

If you want to get the file name, you could either read it from the database column directly, or use File.basename(@page.form.path) to extract it easily.
