Cleaning up Paperclip error messages

Question

Okay, so i\'ve got paperclip working, and I\'m trying to use the built in validator to make sure that the file uploaded

1. Is an image
2. Is not too big

Answer 1

Obviously you solved this for yourself a long time ago, but for anyone who is looking for the answer, there is actually a way to do it within the provided validation.

Simple add your message like so:

validates_attachment :avatar,
:content_type => { :content_type => /image/, :message => "Avatar must be an image" },
:size => { :in => 0..2.megabytes, :message => "Avatar must be less than 2 megabytes in size" }
