paperclip gem question.

Hello,

I decided that I use paperclip to handle my images.

I have this model for posts

class Micropost < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :content, :user_id belongs_to :user end

So according to the manual I have to do this : has_attached_file :photo

But :photo is never used anywhere.

So do I have to change something or did I misunderstand the manual.

Hi…

  1. in Gemfile add this gem

gem “paperclip”, “3.1.4”

  1. bundle install 3.after creating model add below code in migration file(db->migrate->photo model migration file )

t.attachment:photo

  1. rake db:migrate

  2. in your model Add this code attr_accessible: photo

has_attached_file :photo :path=>“rails_root/public/system/:attachment/:id/:style/:filename”, :url=> “system/:attachment/:id/:style/:filename”
