Hi,
I am using paperclip to upload files. The problem I am facing is, based on my object property I need to preserve my file. Means my object should be deleted from db but the file need to be restored.
I am using the option :preserve_files => true. If I keep the above option in model it will be access to all the objects of the model. I need to restore only for limited objects.
for example
def destroy if obj.restore_attachment Paperclip::Attachment.default_options.merge!(:preserve_files =>true) end Paperclip::Attachment.default_options.merge!(:preserve_files =>false) obj.destroy end
If you observe depending on the attachment property I am setting the option.
obj.restore_attachment = true obj.save For obj.destroy obj is getting deleted and file is getting restored.
obj1.restore_attachment = false obj1.save For obj1.destroy obj1 is getting deleted and file is also getting restored. For obj1 this should not be happened. The file should also get deleted.
Even I tried passing lambda in the model has_attached_file :attachment ,:preserve_files => lambda{|obj| obj.restore_attachment ? true : false }
This also behaves as like first approach.
What I observe is when we set preserve_files => true the paperclip is taking this option only through out the other requests.
How to reload paperclip in the code with new options
Can you please suggest any alternate solution.
Cheers, Venkat.
