Question

Hi I’m trying to get different versions of the default image to work for my avatar_uploader. I’ve had this working before with 2 version but not that I’ve added 4 versions there seems to be a bug that I can’t figure out. When I reference my :small version’s default image it displays the :large version’s default. I’ve removed the large_avatar_defaualt.png file from my public/images/fallback folder and confirmed the request is indeed looking for large_avatar_default.png. As you can see by my code below I’m point to the correct avatar version, any idea why this would be happening?

class AvatarUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base

 # Include RMagick or ImageScience support:
  include CarrierWave::MiniMagick
  # include CarrierWave::ImageScience

  # Choose what kind of storage to use for this uploader:
  #storage :file
  # storage :s3

  # Override the directory where uploaded files will be stored.
  # This is a sensible default for uploaders that are meant to be mounted:
  def store_dir
    "uploads/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/#{model.id}"
  end

  # Provide a default URL as a default if there hasn't been a file uploaded:
  def default_url
   "/images/fallback/" + [tiny, "tiny_avatar_default.png"].compact.join('_')
   "/images/fallback/" + [small, "small_avatar_default.png"].compact.join('_')
   "/images/fallback/" + [medium, "medium_avatar_default.png"].compact.join('_')

  # process :scale => [200, 300]
  process :resize_to_fit => [600, 600]

  # def scale(width, height)
  #   # do something
  # end

  # Create different versions of your uploaded files:

  version :large do
    process :resize_to_fill => [165, 165]
  end
  version :medium do
    process :resize_to_fill => [75, 75]

  end
  version :tiny do
    process :resize_to_fill => [20, 20]
  end
  # Add a white list of extensions which are allowed to be uploaded.
  # For images you might use something like this:
  def extension_white_list
    %w(jpg jpeg gif png)
  end

  # Override the filename of the uploaded files:
  def filename
    "avatar.#{File.extname(original_filename).downcase}" if original_filename
  end
  def filename
    if Rails.env.production?
      name_s3
    else

    # S3 storage class is Carrierwave::Storage::S3::File

Answer 1

This should do the trick!

def default_url
  "/images/fallback/" + [version_name, "avatar_default.png"].compact.join('_')
end

version_name will pass the name of the version requested.

Otherwise CSS is your friend!
