I want to run a paperclip method on create only has_attached_file :file This method doesn't seem to accept the :on => :create that some other rails methods do. I tried: before_create after_create etc, but those didn't work. I also did: if :create How can I test if the controller is using the create method from the model? Than...
I deployed to a cluster, and realized that each node holds its own independant database. I am currently using Engine Yard as my host. How can I create a sharesystem so that all my nodes/instances share the same file system? Some people recommend S3, but this may not be the best choice because my users need to be able to edit their fil...
I've been using paperclip to upload and auto-resize photos in my Rails app, and I love it. Only problem is about every other month my crazy manager decides he wants a new size to display the photos in. So I add a new style in my Photo model and all is good for new photos, but the pre-existing photos are now a problem. Now that I'm starti...
I'm using the Polymorphic fork of Paperclip in Rails, but have been having some massive problems with regards to the overwriting of unique filenames. No matter whether I put a time-stamp (more on that in a second) or the id of the asset in the URL, if a file with the same name is uploaded subsequently, then the previous one is overwritte...

Here is my form partial <% form_for([@proj...

I have been trying to get paperclip working for a few days now with no luck! From what I am aware this error below is related to imagemagick.

I've added I18n support for error messages: Now you can define translations for the errors messages in e.g. your YAML locale file: en: paperclip: errors: attachment: size: "Invalid file size" content_type: "Unsupported content type" presence: "Cant' be blank" when I use validates_attachemnt_zie :a...

I've just installed this plugin, created the migrations, added everything I needed to make it work(I didn't install ImageMagick yet). The problem is when I get the upload control parameter to save it in my controller, I get something like this: #<File:C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Local\Temp\RackMultipart.2560.6677> instead of a simple stri...

Until that moment, my model looked like this(and worked fine): has_attached_file :photo Now, after installing ImageMagick, when I add the :style l...

I have opened this as an issue on Github (http://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/issues/issue/225) but on the chance that I'm just doing this wrong, I thought I'd also ask about it here. If someone can tell me where I'm going wrong, I can close the issue and save the Paperclip guys some trouble. Issue: When using S3 for storage, and y...
I used to have this buggy Paperclip config: class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base has_attached_file :image, :storage => :s3, :styles => { :medium => "600x600>", :small => "320x320>", :thumb => "100x100#" }, :s3_credentials => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/s3.yml", :path => "/:style/:file...

So, I want to resize images to a FIXED width, but proportional height. I have been trying a wide range of operators: 380x242# 380x242> 380!x242 380x242< none of them have the desired effect. Any help? I want it to fill or resize to the 380 width, then resize / shrink the height by the same factor it used to shrink or resize the image...
