Question

I’m trying to use the method recreate_versions! but I’m using the method from the wiki to create unique filenames. The problem is that when I run recreate_versions! it changes the filenames but it doesn’t update them on the mounted object itself. How could I refresh these URL’s?

Answer 1

Here is what worked for me. It uses the filename if it already exists. So they don’t change when you recreate_versions!

def filename
  if original_filename
    if model && model.read_attribute(:avatar).present? #or whatever you call your column
      model.read_attribute(:avatar)
    else
      # create new filename however you're doing it
    end
  end
end
