Question

I have a problem when using paperclip.
I can see the files uploaded but now i want to have a download link to download the “pdf file” when clicking on it.

I see this example:

<%= link_to "Download", model.whatever.url(:original, false) %>

But I can’t figure out how to implement this with my own views and models.

Hope someone can help me.

EDIT:

here is my model:

class Contractgegeven < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_attached_file :pdf

    attr_accessible :bedrijfsonderdeel, :bestemd_voor, :betalingsgegevens, :betreft, :contractbeheerder, :contractduur, :einddatum, :ingangsdatum, :opzegtermijn, :soort_contract, :pdf
    end

Answer 1

Say your model is Image, and you have :

class Image < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :picture

Then you should write:

Image.last.picture.url(:original, false)

not Image.last.url(:original, false)
