i'm using this plugin for files and images uploads. it has a very useful feature that generate thumbnails of every uploaded image, based on the geometry given in the model definition. now i want to change the size of one of the thumbnail: how can i re- generate them for the already saved image?
i found this http://github.com/kete/kete/blob/master/lib/tasks/tools.rake but i don't understand how to use it.
why don't you just write a migration that loops all of those objects with the old thumbnail-information and call the method that generates the thumbnails again.
like this:
MyModel.find_all_with_thumbnails.each(&:generate_thumbnail)
i'd like to add: i don't know your app and i don't use attachment_fu either. thus, the line above is obviously not working. it's just to give you an idea.
I use a method that rebuilds in my attachment model class:
# use attachment_fu protected methods to remake thumbs def remake_thumbnails! self.thumbnails.each {|thumb| thumb.destroy} temp_file = create_temp_file attachment_options[:thumbnails].each do |suffix, size| self.create_or_update_thumbnail(temp_file, suffix, *size) end end
If you want a rake task, just loop through all your attachment records and call it. I'm using something similar to this:
namespace :images do desc "Rebuild all thumb images made by attachment_fu" task :rebuild_thumbnails => :environment do conditions = "(whatever you need)" count = Image.count(:all, :conditions => conditions) # image is an attachment_fu model done = 0 chunk_size = 500 (0...(count/chunk_size)).each do |i| Image.find(:all, :offset => i*chunk_size, :limit => chunk_size, :conditions => conditions).each do |image| done = done + 1 # next if image.id < 46520 # to resume a stopped run image.remake_thumbnails! percent = "%.2f" % ((done/count.to_f)*100) puts "#{i.id} #{percent}% done" end end end
Hello!
This is old thread but i need some help!
I’d like to take foz’s solution for my project using attachment_fu.
I am going to make link to remake thumbs in my view, and i don’t need to rake task.
But I don’t know where I should put ‘remake_thumbnails!’ method in.
I’ve tried to put the method in ‘attachment_fu.rb’, but it’s not working.
Should I put it in my upload model or wherelse?
And how can I call this method from view or controller?
I am a really beginner in web development using Rails and Ruby.
it will many thanks if you help me.
