I've added 2000 pictures to my images table and I'm using the Paperclip plugin to create thumbs. I'm wondering if there's a way to go through the database and add another :styles element. For example, when I added the images I had the following in my model: has_attached_file :image, :styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x10...
How can I use paperclip to move files uploaded using ftp to a server, create thumbnails and then move it all to aws?

Hi all. I've found this tutorial (http://www.coffeepowered.net/2009/02/15/graceful-degredation-using-gravatar-as-a-fallback-avatar-with-paperclip/) about implementing gravatar as default image to the paperclip-enabled model, but on implementing i see message "undefined method `match' for [:format, :png]:Array".

Hi, I have a page where a user can import data to the site. either in the form of copy and pasting into a text area from excel, or by uploading a .csv file.

I am working on maintaing an old code base and I'm migrating attachment_fu to paperclip. I migrated one thing but now I'm having a small issue. There's a partial that renders images given the type of image and a thumbnail style. I fixed the part to render the image and that's fine, but the "else" assumes that there actually is no photo ...
This is probably a silly question, but is there a way I can pull out the root bucket name out of the YML s3 file I have? Other tutorials I've seen just assume that the buckets are named development/test-(whatever). I just want to pull exactly what is in the amazon 3s yml out of there, or else I'll have to hard code it... I've tried like...

Just to confirm, it's working 100% with jpg/gif/png files and I have imagemagick installed and working, this error only occurs with .tga files. The general ...
I'm trying to display images using my web application written in Rails. I've come across solutions like PaperClip, Attachment Fu etc; but they modify my data model and require to save the image through UI. The problem is that, the images content is not stored using Rails, but a Java Servlet Application. Is there a way to just display the...

For example, lets say i'm looking at attachments from emails, and i want to save them using paperclip. How do i do this? Do i manually have to call a save_file(or something similar) somewhere?

I can make a change in vendor/plugins/whatever and git status will show it, but not in vendor/plugins/paperclip. My .gitignore file only gas log* and public/system in it. I'm pretty stumped...searched google & asked in IRC, but nothing. Any i...
I'm trying to use the default_url in my application but I store the images using S3. I'm not sure what URL I need to put in there or if I have to create a fake image just to get everything up there. Since my images always render through S3, I don't know if it would work if I just put in some default images in my public folder. It doesn'...
