Cloning an already uploaded image using attachment_fu

Rails
1

Hi,

I have an Image model that is attached to a item. The image was uploaded
through attachment_fu. Now, I want to reuse the same image for a new
item. I tried several tips found online. For example in

http://danieloshea.com/articles/254-cloning-images

Create a clone of an image and it’s thumbnails.

  def create_clone
    c = self.clone
    self.thumbnails.each do |thumb|
        n = thumb.clone
        n.temp_path = thumb.create_temp_file
        n.save_to_storage
        c.thumbnails<<n
     end
   c.temp_path = self.create_temp_file
   c.save_to_storage
   c.save
   return c
  end

But the end result is an exception at

n.temp_path = thumb.create_temp_file

saying that undefined method temp_path (probably for the thumbnail n)???

I spent my whole weekend on it and I am pulling my hair off to solve it!

Any help?

Thanks,

class Image < ActiveRecord::Base

#you attachment fu config

def clone
cloned = super
cloned.filename = “#{rand(1000)}_#{self.filename}”
cloned.temp_data = File.read( self.full_filename )
cloned
end

end

#code

cloned_image = some_image.clone
cloned_image.save! #saving the image will also create the thumbnails
