in my users model I have a paperclip setup like this:

  has_attached_file :profile_pic, 
                    :styles => {:large => "300x300>", :medium => "150x150>", :small => "50x50#", :thumb => "30x30#" },
                    :default_style => :thumb,
                    :default_url => '/images/:attachment/default_:style.png',

How do I make the default URL, include the full URL? 

http://0.0.0.0:3000/images/:attachment/default_:style.png 
or http://sitename.com/images/:attachment/default_:style.png

    In Rails 3 add: include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers in your model.

    In Rails 2 add: include ActionController::UrlWriter in your model.

    Then root_url contains the base url of your app. So then you can do:

    has_attached_file :profile_pic, 
                    :styles => {:large => "300x300>", :medium => "150x150>", :small => "50x50#", :thumb => "30x30#" },
                    :default_style => :thumb,
                    :default_url => "#{root_url}/images/:attachment/default_:style.png",
