Rails

Hi all,
I’ve installed paperclips but
paperclip is not saving the files

my model has

has_attached_file :attachment,:styles => { :medium => “300x300>”,
:thumb => “100x100>” }

and i have db migration as

class AddAttachmentToPolicies < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
add_column :policies, :attachment_file_name, :string
add_column :policies, :attachment_content_type, :string
add_column :policies, :attachment_file_size, :integer
end

def self.down
remove_column :policies, :attachment_file_name
remove_column :policies, :attachment_content_type
remove_column :policies, :attachment_file_size
end

end

and I have that plugin as well

but its not saving the files and I’m getting values as null in my DB
for the above set feilds

Plz help me in this regard

we probably need to see your controller code first

I’m using form_tag
and i got errors as " /LOCALS~1/Temp/stream.3468.0 is not recognized
by the ‘identify’ command."
when i hit submit

thankyou Peter ,

can you just tell me how to install imagemagick in windows

Things to check:

  • your form_tag has :multipart set to true
  • imagemagick is installed and compiled properly
  • imagemagick is in the default load paths of your linux distro or
    specify the path explicitely
  • imagemagick has the necessary processor for the filetype you are
    uploading installed
  • the file you are uploading is effectively and at all times an image
    (if you want to upload non-thumbnailable files, you’ll need to handle
    that using a “before_post_process” method that determines what
    processor to use for what filetype

Not doing it very often, but here you go:

I also recommend including:

add_column :policies, :attachment_updated_at, :datetime

I don’t know that this is strictly required, but I found that I needed
it when I was getting Paperclip working. I have since included it in
several projects now. It wont hurt, and I think it may be required. (I
remember that it is not documented.)

Thanks,

this thread was rather timely for me (just in before a deadline). I
was facing exactly the same thing and had left off the multi-part bit
in the form.

Cheers,

Use this:

has_attached_file :image, :url => “/:attachment/:id_:style.:extension”,
:path => “:rails_root/public/:attachment/:id_:style.:extension”, :styles
=> { :original => “500x500>” }

Let me know how it goes. I have an working application that you can
download from http://www.classifiedscript.in

For windows, make sure you close down the rails server and any command
prompt instances and restart them. The imagemagick install path in
program files (the folder containing identify.exe) needs to be
accessible in the PATH variable. To check type echo %PATH% in the
command prompt. If the imagemagick installation folder shows, the
rails app should function.

check it in your system folder in your rails root app , where you can
find
your uploaded images
