Question

I have been trying to use Carrierwave for image uploads which is working fine, I was just wondering how I could have an upload directory for each user i.e:-

uploads/current_user.id/gallery.id/

I have two tables,

images

• id
• title
• desc
• gallery_id
• created_at
• updated_at

galleries

• id
• title
• desc
• user_id
• created_at
• updated_at

many thanks

Since you’ve provided very little in the way of specifics about your setup, I will make assumptions with my answer.

If you have some Gallery model which the uploader in question is bound to, the uploader has a model method that returns the Gallery instance. I will also assume your Gallery instance has an owner relation for some User record. All you need to do is add a store_dir method to your uploader to overload the default CarrierWave::Uploader::Base provides.

def store_dir
  "uploads/#{model.owner.id}/#{model.id}"
end
