Access image from different view in a view with paperclip gem ruby on rails

Question

I\'m new in Ruby on Rails and learning it. I want to access a table with images stored by paperclip gem in another view, for example in my application, I have the causes control

Answer 1

Firstly, in the causes controller, pluralize @profile because Profile.all will return an array of all profiles. i.e. change @profile = Profile.all to @profiles = Profile.all

Because @profiles is an array, you need to iterate through each array item in the view Causes:

<% @profiles.each do |profile| %>
  <%= image_tag profile.images.first.image.url(:thumb) %>
<% end %>

If you only intend on returning a single profile image then you will need to specify which profile in the controller. i.e.

@profile = Profile.first

or if the cause model belongs to the profile model:

@profile = Profile.find(params[:profile_id])
