Question

I have installed paperclip and imagemagick,and implemented the code to my model and view file.
I have a database column named ‘picture’ and it is empty no matter if i uploaded a picture or not. the picture acctually exists in the/public/system/decks/pictures/000/000/019/medium folder. i can see all of the uploaded pictures there, but i can’t show them cause the database is empty.

My model:

class Deck < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :picture

  has_attached_file :picture, :styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>" }
  attr_accessor :picture_file_name
  attr_accessor :picture_content_type
  attr_accessor :picture_file_size
  attr_accessor :picture_updated_at

My view:

<%= form_for @deck,:url => decks_path, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
  <%= f.file_field :slika %>

My migration:

class AddAttachmentPictureToDecks < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    add_column :decks, :picture, :attachment
  end
end

So i get the picture in that folder that i have mentioned before but the picture column in my decks table is empty. I can’t get the picture with <%= image_tag @deck.picture.url(:medium) %>, cause my @deck.picture.url holds a /pictures/original/missing.png, my @deck.picture.path and my @deck.picture.picture_file_name also shows nothing.

Thank you.

Answer 1

in the end it looks like i mixed the old syntax and the new one and i couldn’t get the fields right in the database. and it looks like the attr_accessors are unneccessary
