Hi! If i have Image class and i''d like to add ''create_thumbnail'' method to it, which will later be called from product controller, where to put this method and how to call it? I''ve tried putting it inside image controller and image model, then call it like Image.create_thumbnail, but it didn''t work - undefined method `create_thumbnail''

Im using a customs processor to run ffmpeg on a video to create a thumbnail. So far so good. Except when I do: cmd = "-i #{@file.path} -f flv -s 320x240 ~/Downloads/foobar/q.flv" success = Paperclip.run(''ffmpeg'', cmd) Console is reporting: ffmpeg ''-i /var/folders/uL/uL0bYOOZEZaJH5E+BmDJVE+++TI/-Tmp-/stream, 16824,1.mpeg -f flv -s 320x240

Quick Question. I understand how to change the default path to something other than public but what if I wanted to add another directory into the equation. I want to upload an image into the following structure: /public/image/userid/imageid/test.gif So basically I want to look up the userid in my users table and put all the images for that user in the same directory. So i have a one

howdy! I had the problem that attachment_fu didn''t make a thumbnail, but everything else worked. I read this post http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/104213 and added a parent_id column. now I get the following error when I trie to add a photo: undefined method `find_or_initialize_by_thumbnail_and_parent_id'' for Photo:Class my code is: class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base

Hi, With some help from Quinn_Storm, iXce, maniac103, mikedee and KristianLy :), I've managed to modify switcher.c and make a new plugin: thumbnail. The plugin shows thumbnails of windows when cursor is moved over a task button in taskbar. Screenshot: http://pix.nofrag.com/b0/7a/051d45e25bfffed09eeb9b00e383.jpeg Download:

I have this code in a controller that returns images to my browser...with ROR. def index @products = Product.find_all_ pictures end ....this is the .rhtml.. <% for photo in @pic -%> <div class="entry"> <img src="<%= photo.image_url %>"/> <h3><%= h(photo.title) %></h3> <%= photo.description %>

total rails nuby here. I have a table "thumbnails", hence the model Thumbnail. I''m extending the Thumbnail class with a few constants needed for thumbnail cropping: class Thumbnail < ActiveRecord::Base SOURCE_FILE_PATH = "path/to/source" TARGET_FILE_PATH = "path/to/target" TARGET_WIDTH = 100 TARGET_HEIGHT = 100 end Now, in my controller

Programs with special uncommon file formats (not jpg) often register a shell extension in Explorer that offers thumbnails for these files (since the files otherwise wouldn't have previews). When I trigger in a Wine application (eg. SketchUp) the File Open dialog, I can see previews of the files (skp files) in the preview panel. This means the shell extension does work in Wine. The Shell

I''m trying to keep my rails app lean and mean and want to avoid (if possible) dealing with image uploads, thumbnail generation, running RMagick etc. I was excited about Amazon letting you upload files directly from the browser to your S3 bucket (http://doc.s3.amazonaws.com/proposals/ post.html) but I couldn''t figure out how to generate thumbnails - has anyone figured this out?

First off, I''m not trying to spec attachment_fu, I know it''s been tested. But, I added some code to that model that I do need to test. Basically, I need to somehow fulfill the "uploaded_data" property so I can actually run my tests(otherwise they fail because of validations). The "uploaded_data" field is what would grab the multipart data from form. Here

Hi, I''m looking to create a gallery index page of thumbnail images which point to their associated images galleries. Also, I would like to organize the images from left to right and top to bottom. Furthermore, I would like to limit the number of thumbnail images on the page. I guess that I''m needing some type of horizontal looping interface for both the thumbnail index page

It took me a while to figure this out and I don''t see any wiki pages for attachment_fu so I figure I would just post this here. I didn''t like the way attachment_fu by default creates directories under a given directory for a specific class e.g. item_image/1/img_1.jpg item_image/1/img_1_thumb.jpg item_image/2/img_2.jpg item_image/2/img_2_thumb.jpg item_image/3/img_3.jpg

I see that the SVN version of the excellent file_column plug-in can create thumbnails using the url_for_image_column helper. This uses Rmagick to create the thumbnail... Quick question... Let''s say the file is a TIFF image - can the helper create a JPG version of the thumbnail for display in the browser? Curious if the plug-in can handle that transform with some creative use of the

hi folks: I follow this article:http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24 all goes well except the public_filename ，it return something like "photos/0000/0001/test.jpg" ,not the expected RESTFUL URL LIKE ''photos/1/test.jpg'',any suggestion?

Hello, Iam providing access to many images on a share to windows users from my linux samba over the internet. The problem is that I need thumbnail viewing because of the nature of this library and thumbnails take to much time to load it seems as though it is actually loading the entire image to then display the small thumbnail.
