Paperclip is a great upload plugin for Rails. Storing uploads on the local filesystem or Amazon S3 seems to work well. I'd just assume store files on the localhost, but the use of S3 is required for this app as it will be hosted on Heroku. How would I go about getting all of my uploads/attachments from S3 in a single zipped download? G...
Hi, I have migrated my application from rails 2.3 to rails3 and i have a problem with paperclip. I saw there was a branch for rails3 on paperclip git.

Here's the stack trace: /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/aws-s3-0.6.2/lib/aws/s3/conne...
The Paperclip plugin for Rails has a resize option that keeps the image in proportion. According to Ryan Bates' Paperclip Railscast, to make sure that option is on, you have to add a greater-than sign in the end of the size for the style you're looking to resize, as such: :styles => { :small => "160x160>" } I'm looking for Paperclip t...
Hi, in Rails using the Polymorphic version of Paperclip, the default saving technique means that files with the same name overwrite each other. Including the :id in the path and URL doesn't work as it just overwrites the earlier file with the old :id. I've tried interpolations using a time-stamp, but it just looks for the current time w...

Is there anyway to throw a validation error if a user tries to upload the same photo twice to a Rails app using Paperclip? Paperclip doesn't seem to offer this functionality... I'm using Rails 2.3.5 and Paperclip (obviously). SOLUTION: (or one of them, at least) Using Beerlington's suggestion, I decided to go with an MD5 Checksum c...

I have a rails application that has multiple models with paperclip attachments that are all uploaded to S3. This app also has a large test suite that is run quite often. The downside with this is that a ton of files are uploaded to our S3 account on every test run, making the test suite run slowly. It also slows down development a bit,...
I'm using Papeclip(2.3.1.1) with Rails(2.3.5). In my view I write so: <%= link_to image_tag(p.attachment.url(:small)), p.attachment.url(:original) %>, and it becomes into href="/system/attachments/1/original/1.JPG?1270134617 (for a tag) src="/system/attachments/1/small/1.JPG?1270134617" (for img tag). And when I click on the pictu...
I think I have a bit of a chicken and egg problem. I would like to set the content_type of a file uploaded via Paperclip. The problem is that the default content_type is only based on extension, but I'd like to base it on another module. I seem to be able to set the content_type with the before_post_process class Upload < ActiveRecor...
I am able to 'POST' to a Rails application (with Paperclip) using XML instead of the standard web form (trying to do it from another Ruby script). However, I would like to include a binary file. Is there any way to include the binary data within an XML tag? Or can I do something like B64 encode the data on the client and then decode...
