Question

I’m pretty new to Ruby on Rails.

I changed this thread, because i recognized that I was searching for my problems’ solution at the wrong end.

Here’s my Problem:

I got a Class ProfileProposal which I upload an Image with(Using CarrierWave).
Now I want to convert ProfileProposal to another class, called Profile.
So I pass all the Information to the NEW-Form of Profile.

Works fine with strings, but not with Images.

What I’ve already tried/done:

Pass the Image as GET Param to the Create Method:

<%= form_for @profile, :url => { :action => "create", :controller => "profiles", :image => @profile_proposal.image } do |f| %>

#

Which now works, so I DO have the image-url.

What’s not working is the following:

@profile = Profile.new(params[:profile], :image => new_image_url)
# OR
@profile.image = new_image_url

@profile.image still has the default value given by Carrierwave.

Thanks in advance!

I finally fixed that problem, by using paperclip and creating a new Instance via

Profile.create(:name => @profile_proposal.name, :image => @profile_proposal.image)
