Generated Picture Filesize Upload for RSS - ruby-on-rails

I upload a picture via paperclip (in rails). This picture will appear in the rss feed. For the RSS feed, I need to fill the field length which tells the client the file length I guess.
It would be easy for the attached file itself, because the there is a column file_size, but what if the picture is post-process and I want to include this picture, how do I get the file size?
Code:
pic.rb
class Pic < ActiveRecord::Base
has_attached_file :image,
:styles => {
:mail => "780x540>",
:medium => "260x180>",
:thumb => "130x90>",
},
:storage => :s3
end
rss.rb
xml.instruct! :xml, version: "1.0"
xml.rss version: "2.0" do
xml.channel do
#ps.each do |p|
xml.item do
xml.title p.title
xml.description p.description.truncate(250)
xml.pubDate p.starts_at.to_s(:rfc822)
xml.link p.uri_name
xml.guid p.uri_name
xml.enclosure url: p.pic(:medium), type: "image/jpeg", length: ??
end
end
end
end
Should be easy, but..

Found the solution:
Because it's stored on s3, I can get the information via http..
in pic.rb
def content_length(size)
parts = URI.parse image.url(size)
Net::HTTP.start(parts.host, parts.port) do |http|
response = http.request_head parts.path
file_size = response['content-length']
end
end

Paperclip post processing conversion does not update file_name, content_type attributes

I would like to restrict File uploads to images only, and convert them automatically to .png. To do so, I use this class:
class ImageAttachment < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :file, :file_file_name, :file_content_type, :file_file_size
validates_attachment :file,
:content_type => { :content_type => ["image/jpg", "image/tiff", "image/png"] }
has_attached_file :file,
:styles => { :original => ["100%", :png],
:large => ["500x500", :png],
:medium => ["150x150", :png],
:thumb => ["75x100", :png]
},
:default_url => "/system/missing_thumb.png"
end
As I understand, the :styles => { :original => ["100%", :png], ...} should convert all uploaded files that pass validation to .png files. Therefore, I expect the following things to happen when uploading a file example.tiff:
convert the file to .png
change the file name accordingly to example.png
change the content type accordingly to "image/png"
Here's a spec I use:
it "should convert all image types to .png" do
test_file = File.new(Rails.root + "spec/fixtures/images/test.tiff")
attachment = ImageAttachment.create :file => test_file
attachment.file.url.should == "some/paperclip/path/.../test.png"
attachment.file_file_name.should == "test.png"
attachment.file_content_type.should == "image/png"
end
The first assertion is true, and I can also see ImageMagick output in the terminal,
but attachment.file_file_name still returns example.tiff, and attachment.file_content_type returns "image/tiff".
Is my assumption that paperclip automatically updates the file_file_name and the file_content_type attributes wrong?
If so, how would I best do this on my own?

Generate Thumbnail From pdf in rails paperclip

How can I generate the first page of a pdf as a thumbnail in paperclip?
I tried a lot but it's not working
has_attached_file :book_url, :styles => {
:thumb => "100x100#",
:small => "150x150>",
:medium => "200x200" }
This is giving the name of the pdf as a link but it's not giving the first page of the pdf
<%= link_to 'My PDF', #book.book_url.url %>
Tadas' answer is right, but for those who need more context, you can do something like this: The model below only creates thumbnails for certain kinds of files (e.g. it doesn't make thumbnails of audio files), but does make thumbnails for pdfs, image files, and video files:
class Record < ActiveRecord::Base
print self # for logging on heroku
belongs_to :user
# Ensure user has provided the required fields
validates :title, presence: true
validates :file_upload, presence: true
validates :description, presence: true
# Use the has_attached_file method to add a file_upload property to the Record
# class.
has_attached_file :file_upload,
# In order to determine the styles of the image we want to save
# e.g. a small style copy of the image, plus a large style copy
# of the image, call the check_file_type method
styles: lambda { |a| a.instance.check_file_type },
processors: lambda {
|a| a.is_video? ? [ :ffmpeg ] : [ :thumbnail ]
}
# Validate that we accept the type of file the user is uploading
# by explicitly listing the mimetypes we are willing to accept
validates_attachment_content_type :file_upload,
:content_type => [
"video/mp4",
"video/quicktime",
"image/jpg",
"image/jpeg",
"image/png",
"image/gif",
"application/pdf",
"audio/mpeg",
"audio/x-mpeg",
"audio/mp3",
"audio/x-mp3",
"file/txt",
"text/plain",
"application/doc",
"application/msword",
"application/vnd.ms-excel",
"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet",
"application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"
],
:message => "Sorry! We do not accept the attached file type"
# Before applying the Imagemagick post processing to this record
# check to see if we indeed wish to process the file. In the case
# of audio files, we don't want to apply post processing
before_post_process :apply_post_processing?
# Helper method that uses the =~ regex method to see if
# the current file_upload has a content_type
# attribute that contains the string "image" / "video", or "audio"
def is_image?
self.file_upload.content_type =~ %r(image)
end
def is_video?
self.file_upload.content_type =~ %r(video)
end
def is_audio?
self.file_upload.content_type =~ /\Aaudio\/.*\Z/
end
def is_plain_text?
self.file_upload_file_name =~ %r{\.(txt)$}i
end
def is_excel?
self.file_upload_file_name =~ %r{\.(xls|xlt|xla|xlsx|xlsm|xltx|xltm|xlsb|xlam|csv|tsv)$}i
end
def is_word_document?
self.file_upload_file_name =~ %r{\.(docx|doc|dotx|docm|dotm)$}i
end
def is_powerpoint?
self.file_upload_file_name =~ %r{\.(pptx|ppt|potx|pot|ppsx|pps|pptm|potm|ppsm|ppam)$}i
end
def is_pdf?
self.file_upload_file_name =~ %r{\.(pdf)$}i
end
def has_default_image?
is_audio?
is_plain_text?
is_excel?
is_word_document?
end
# If the uploaded content type is an audio file,
# return false so that we'll skip audio post processing
def apply_post_processing?
if self.has_default_image?
return false
else
return true
end
end
# Method to be called in order to determine what styles we should
# save of a file.
def check_file_type
if self.is_image?
{
:thumb => "200x200>",
:medium => "500x500>"
}
elsif self.is_pdf?
{
:thumb => ["200x200>", :png],
:medium => ["500x500>", :png]
}
elsif self.is_video?
{
:thumb => {
:geometry => "200x200>",
:format => 'jpg',
:time => 0
},
:medium => {
:geometry => "500x500>",
:format => 'jpg',
:time => 0
}
}
elsif self.is_audio?
{
:audio => {
:format => "mp3"
}
}
else
{}
end
end
end
I think I once got it working by enforcing a file type, e.g.
:thumb => ["100x100#", :png]
of course it's not ideal, because it enforces this filetype for every upload
Thanks a million to #duhaime for his beautiful answer.
Since this is the most complete source of information I found to have PDF attached, I'd like to document it further:
Requirements:
imagemagick
ghostscript (I forgot about this one)
(optional) ffmpeg if you want to handle video files
Also I replaced has_default_image? and apply_post_processing? with the single:
def can_thumbnail?
self.check_file_type.try(:{], :thumb).present?
end
Finally I created a method for the not-thumbable attachments:
def thumb
return self.file.url(:thumb) if self.can_thumbnail?
if self.is_video?
'/thumb/video.png'
else
'/thumb/default.png'
end
end
But thanks again #duhaime

Paperclip on S3 is changing file extensions from a url

I wrote a rake task that downloads an image from wikipedia given a celebrity name, but for some reason when storing on S3 the file extension is either being dropped or changed to .txt
The file otherwise is correct.
Any ideas?
From my celeb model:
has_attached_file :pic,
:styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>" },
:default_style => :medium,
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => "#{Rails.root}/config/s3.yml",
:path => "/:style/:img_name.:extension"
From my rake task:
desc "Update celeb pics from wiki"
task :update_celeb_pics => [:environment] do
include ApplicationHelper
Celeb.all.each do |celeb|
if !celeb.name.start_with?("(")
puts celeb.name
celeb.pic = open(getImage(celeb.name))
celeb.save
end
end
end
the getImage method is a helper that returns a string
require 'open-uri'
require 'uri'
module ApplicationHelper
def getInfo(name)
Nokogiri::XML(open(URI.escape("http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=#{name}&limit=1&namespace=0&format=xml")))
end
def nokoPage(name)
Nokogiri::XML(open(getURL(name)))
end
def getImage(name)
"http:" + nokoPage(name).css("table img")[0].attribute("src").value if !nokoPage(name).css("table img").empty?
end
def getDescription(name)
getInfo(name).css("Description").text
end
def getURL(name)
getInfo(name).css("Url").text
end
def getBday(name)
bday = nokoPage(name).css("span.bday")
return Date.parse(bday[0].text) if !bday.empty?
return Date.today
end
def getDday(name)
dday = nokoPage(name).css("span.dday")
return Date.parse(dday[0].text) if !dday.empty?
end
end
This is because
self.pic = open("http://something.com/bla/image.png")
is not the best solution here. Just yesterday, i got a Pull Request merged into Paperclip that lets you do this
self.pic = URI.parse(getImage(name))
This will ensure that your pic's content type matches the downloaded file, pic's filename is set to the name of the file downloaded.
The reason you get txt extension is because open returns a StringIO object which infact names the filename as "stringio.txt". Your filename is probably changed by the s3 code but the extension remains as '.txt'
I suggest you link your Gemfile to paperclip's github repo, run bundle and try again.
Cheers,

File upload Base64 encoded string in PaperClip using Rails

I have at base64 encoded string of a image file. I need to save it using Paper Clip
My Controller code is
#driver = User.find(6)
encoded_file = Base64.encode64(File.open('/pjt_path/public/test.jpg').read)
decoded_file = Base64.decode64(encoded_file)
#driver.profile_pic = StringIO.open(decoded_file)
#driver.save
In my user model
has_attached_file :profile_pic, :styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>" }, :default_url => '/icon.jpg'
Currently the file is saved as a text file(stringio.txt). But when I change the extension to JPG I can view it as image. How can I name the image correctly using StringIO.
I am having rails 3.2, ruby 1.9.2, paperclip 3.0.3
I fixed the issue by using
encoded_file = Base64.encode64(File.open('/pjt_path/public/test.jpg').read)
decoded_file = Base64.decode64(params[:encoded_image])
begin
file = Tempfile.new(['test', '.jpg'])
file.binmode
file.write decoded_file
file.close
#user.profile_pic = file
if #user.save
render :json => {:message => "Successfully uploaded the profile picture."}
else
render :json => {:message => "Failed to upload image"}
end
ensure
file.unlink
end
Try setting the :path/:url option of has_attached_file and explicitly overriding the extension:

respectively

Rails Paperclip how to use filter options of ImageMagick?

I recently implemented Paperclip with Rails and want to try out some of the filter options from ImageMagick such as blur. I've not been able to find any examples of how to do this. Does it get passed through :style as another option?
:styles => { :medium => "300x300#", :thumb => "100x100#" }
#plang's answer was correct but I wanted to give the exact solution to the blur, just in case someone was looking and found this question:
:convert_options => { :all => "-blur 0x8" }
// -blur {radius}x{sigma}
Which changed this:
To this:
I did not test this, but you should be able to use the "convert_options" parameter, like this:
:convert_options => { :all => ‘-colorspace Gray’ }
Have a look at https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/blob/master/lib/paperclip/thumbnail.rb
I personnaly use my own processor.
In Model:
has_attached_file :logo,
:url => PaperclipAssetsController.config_url,
:path => PaperclipAssetsController.config_path,
:styles => {
:grayscale => { :processors => [:grayscale] }
}
In lib:
module Paperclip
# Handles grayscale conversion of images that are uploaded.
class Grayscale < Processor
def initialize file, options = {}, attachment = nil
super
#format = File.extname(#file.path)
#basename = File.basename(#file.path, #format)
end
def make
src = #file
dst = Tempfile.new([#basename, #format])
dst.binmode
begin
parameters = []
parameters << ":source"
parameters << "-colorspace Gray"
parameters << ":dest"
parameters = parameters.flatten.compact.join(" ").strip.squeeze(" ")
success = Paperclip.run("convert", parameters, :source => "#{File.expand_path(src.path)}[0]", :dest => File.expand_path(dst.path))
rescue PaperclipCommandLineError => e
raise PaperclipError, "There was an error during the grayscale conversion for #{#basename}" if #whiny
end
dst
end
end
end
This might not be 100% necessary for a simple grayscale conversion, but it works!
Rails 5, Paperclip 5 update
Instead of having to add a library now, you can just call out to ImageMagick's convert command on the system to use its grayscale option. You can do the same for blur or any of the other ImageMagick options, but I needed to do this for conversion to grayscale.
In your model (client that has a logo):
class Client < ApplicationRecord
has_attached_file :logo,
styles: { thumb: "243x243#", grayscale: "243x243#" }
# ensure it's an image
validates_attachment_content_type :logo, content_type: /\Aimage\/.*\z/
# optional, just for name and url to be required
validates :name, presence: true
validates :url, presence: true
after_save :convert_grayscale
def convert_grayscale
system "convert #{self.logo.path(:thumb)} -grayscale Rec709Luminance #{self.logo.path(:grayscale)}"
end
def logo_attached?
self.logo.file?
end
end
Then just use in the view like this (per Paperclips github docs).
In your view:
<%= image_tag(client.logo.url(:grayscale), class: 'thumbnail', alt: client.name, title: client.name) %>
or with a link if you prefer:
<%= link_to(image_tag(client.logo.url(:grayscale), class: 'thumbnail', alt: client.name, title: client.name), client.url ) %>
