I would try Mike C.'s tutorial on attachment_fu - I’m not sure how
you’re getting your images into the system, but I’m guessing it’s
through some upload functionality. If so, you can use attachment_fu and
abstract away all the complexities of image uploading and thumbnailing -
even have multiple thumbnail sizes… when you want to call the image,
you do something like: image_tag(@my_image.public_filename) when you
want to call the thumbnail, you just do
image_tag(@my_image.public_filename(:thumbnail))

attachment_fu is wonderful and mike clark’s tutorial is here:

If you want something like user images on these pages
http://sphred.com/profile/1-Nasir-Jamal,
http://sphred.com/profile/2-Amy-Gooch
(click on the user image to see) then you can use acts_as_attachment
plugin.

I have written the steps to set the whole thing here

Hi Ruchita

I have heard that installation of certain plugins will give errors. Dont
get tensed. Because getting tensed in ror may make things complicated
and unsolvable.

If you are getting mad do some other thing for a while and then come
back.
Then tell me what about the other things you were doing
