Validate Attachment Content Type Paperclip

Question

Is it possible to enforce a \'content type\' validation in paperclip without enforcing a \'presence\' validation (i.e. allow blanks)? I currently have:

class         


        

Answer 1

I'm not sure that method is the cause of your failure; Here's my simple class

class Image < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :photo, {
            :styles => { :large => "700x400#", :medium=>"490x368#", :thumbnail=>"75x75#" },
            :default_url => "/images/thumbnail/blank-recipe.png"}
  validates_attachment_content_type :photo, :content_type => /image/ 
end

Then, if I:

Image.new.valid?
#this is true

You might be doing other paperclip validations, though. Can you post a simple example?
