Question

I already have a user in the database that was created using remote_avatar_url and two images were processed – medium and large versions. But now the user needs the capability to change their images with another remote_avatar_url. When I do this the image is not being reprocessed. Is there something I’m doing wrong?

users.rb

def update
  user = User.find(params[:id])
  user.remote_image_url = "https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png"
  user.save
end

Thanks!

You can force the re processing of versions

instance = MyUploader.new
instance.recreate_versions!
