Hello friends,

I need to store the images of user into there own directory for e.g  
“public/uploads/user\_(user\_id)”  
So I am declaring it inside the model.

has\_attachment :path\_prefix =\> ‘public/uploads/user\_#{current\_user}’

As current user is not accessible from model. So in this case how can i  
save  
the images into the user directory?

Please help me with this situation.

Regards  
Abhi

If user got any unique ID and if you are using login,then you can access  
user id from session…or you can create a session for each user and  
access it from there…  
Thank you…
