Hi all,
I have a project that is using paperclip to upload and attach files to associated models. The schema is thus:
Class Project has_many :attached_files # I want to attach images only (jpg|png|etc) to projects end
Class Page has_many :attached_files # I want to attach linked documents (doc|pdf|etc) to pages end
Class Attachedfile has attached_file :image has attached_file :file end
Right now, I have validations for Project:
validates_attachment_presence :image, :message => 'There was no file uploaded!' validates_attachment_thumbnails :image, :message => 'The file you uploaded does not seem to be a valid image.' etc...
And now I want to add validations for files attached to pages. Only, how do I go about only calling the validations for files on Pages, while only calling validations for Images on Projects? ie. if I add validations for files on pages it will invalidate the records when I am saving images on projects.
Does that make sense? The way I know I could work around this is to have two models: AttachedFile and AttachedImage, but that seems not necessary and would be an extra database table.
