Rails - Aug 2009 - Creating a new record without uploading an image- paperclip

My users have the ability to upload a profile picture, but I don''t want
to require this upon registration.

I have a model called User, for auth and each User has_ one a Profile
The profiles model is where I''ve put my validation and keep the
information about the upload


When a new user is created, I also want to add a new record to the
profiles table,

such as

 @user = User.new(params[:user])
    @user.save
    if @user.errors.empty?
      self.current_user = @user

    @profile = Profile.new(:name => @user.login, :user_id => @user.id)
    @profile.save

    if @profile.errors.empty?
      flash[:notice] = "Successfull"
      redirect_to(''/'')
    else
      @errors = "Profile not created"
      render ''new''
    end
    else
    flash[:notice]  =  "User not created fool"
    redirect_to ''home''
    end

The @profile.save is causing the problem because with no avatar data on
registration, the validation on the profile model is failing.

How can set up paperclip so that if I''m creating a new record then
those
validations are not required?

Unless you have explicitly validate for the presence of avatars, they 
are not mandatory.  So, check your model to see if you have specified 
that.  you can also check your table to see if you have marked those 
fields as not null, if so change it to null.

let me know, how it goes.

Removing that validation did allow me to create a record in the Users 
model. Thanks, I figured there was a reason it had to be there as most 
documentation suggests that it should be there.
