hey, great bunch of recipes. made me want to keep using paperclip instead of rolling my own. i have a snag. if the above code covering preventing thumbnail generation it’s not clear where this block goes…

before_local_avatar_post_process do …

is that placed as a class method of the paperclipped model or is it part of some previously defined callback? it’s not immediately clear and i get a no method error when i place it as a class method of the paperclipped model.

thanks.

Is there a way to batch process images with paperclip?…

You might want to take a look at http://roberto.peakhut.com/2010/01/14/paperclip_recipes/ He discusses an upload to S3 of a local avatar using straight Paperclip code. Haven’t tried it though….

This seems exactly what I’m looking for but I can’t figure out how to incorporate it properly. Do you have a sample app that uses this?

Hello,
Thanks for your code snippet and it is helpful.
However,when I try out your code ( tempupload.rb),i get errors :
@uploaded_file.original_filename ( origina_filename is not a method) and
@uploaded_file.to_tempfile ( to_tempfile is not a method).

how is the tempupload.rb supposed to be used- is it a monkey patch to paperclip ??

thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply. That should work perfectly. I’m not sure how I missed this the first time but the reason for the continuous uploading to s3 that I mentioned is because when I commented out the “self.local_avatar.dirty?” it was caught in a constant loop. It would call the “after_save :queue_upload_to_s3″ then in “upload_to_s3″ save the object again which would go right back to the after save and back to “upload_to_s3″. I’m sure this would be obvious to most but I spent a few hours trying to figure out why this was happening! It’s ok to laugh…

Thanks for great post!

Hi Anthony, You are right, I've replaced 'self.local_avatar.dirty?' by 'self.local_avatar_updated_at_changed?' and I think it'll work fine now. I created a repository with the solution, so you can fork and help me to improve it: http://github.com/roberto/paperclip_recipes. Thanks!

This is exactly what I’m looking for but have ran into a bit of a problem. The self.local_avatar.dirty? never validates to true after save. Not sure exactly whats going on here but if you have any thoughts that would be great. If I comment out that check to always send_later I end up with a constant connection to s3 that continually uploads. It will save the first file but then get stuck in a loop uploading the file to s3 with a new ID. No idea whats going on here!

Thanks!
