Can I use acts\_as\_attachment with a model that has more than 1 image?

Each attachment is one image. Use a has\_many association for multiple  
attachments:

class PhotoAlbum \< AR::Base  
has\_many :photos  
end

class Photo \< AR::Base  
acts\_as\_attachment  
belongs\_to :photo\_album  
end

You can upload as many photos as you want. Check out how Mephisto  
does it:
