I'm trying to make Paperclip convert every image to JPG unless it is an animated gif. Is there any way to specify a conditional style or I have to make a processor?
As far as i know Paperclip does not have any build in functionality to solve your problem except custom processors. You can do some thing like this:
module Paperclip
class ConditionalConverter < Thumbnail
def initialize(file, options = {}, attachment = nil)
super(file, options, attachment)
#format = :jpg unless self.animated?
end
end
end
ImageMagick should done it for you. For that you should add :jpg to your styles:
has_attached_file :avatar, :styles => { :thumb => ["32x32#", :jpg] }

Please suggest me a way to save an image from an URL by Paperclip.
In Paperclip 3.1.4 it's become even simpler.
def picture_from_url(url)
self.picture = URI.parse(url)
end
This is slightly better than open(url). Because with open(url) you're going to get "stringio.txt" as the filename. With the above you're going to get a proper name of the file based on the URL. i.e.
self.picture = URI.parse("http://something.com/blah/avatar.png")
self.picture_file_name # => "avatar.png"
self.picture_content_type # => "image/png"
Here is a simple way:
require "open-uri"
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_attached_file :picture
def picture_from_url(url)
self.picture = open(url)
end
end
Then simply :
user.picture_from_url "http://www.google.com/images/logos/ps_logo2.png"
It didn't work for me until I used "open" for parsed URI.
once I added "open" it worked!
def picture_from_url(url)
self.picture = URI.parse(url).open
end
My paperclip version is 4.2.1
Before open it wouldn't detect the content type right, because it wasn't a file. It would say image_content_type: "binary/octet-stream", and even if I override it with the right content type it wouldn't work.
First download the image with the curb gem to a TempFile and then simply assign the tempfile object and save your model.
Into official documentation is reported here https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/wiki/Attachment-downloaded-from-a-URL
Anyway it seems not updated, because in last version of paperclip something has changed and this line of code is no more valid:
user.picture = URI.parse(url)
It raise an error, in particular this error is raised:
Paperclip::AdapterRegistry::NoHandlerError: No handler found for #<URI:: ...
The new correct syntax is this one:
url = "https://www.example.com/photo.jpeg"
user.picture = Paperclip.io_adapters.for(URI.parse(url).to_s, { hash_digest: Digest::MD5 })
Also we need to add these lines into config/initializers/paperclip.rb file:
Paperclip::DataUriAdapter.register
Paperclip::HttpUrlProxyAdapter.register
Tested this with paperclip version 5.3.0 and it works.
It may helpful to you. Here is the code using paperclip and image present in remote URL .
require 'rubygems'
require 'open-uri'
require 'paperclip'
model.update_attribute(:photo,open(website_vehicle.image_url))
In model
class Model < ActiveRecord::Base
has_attached_file :photo, :styles => { :small => "150x150>", :thumb => "75x75>" }
end
As those are old Answer's here's a newer one:
Add Image Remote URL to your desired Controller in the Database
$ rails generate migration AddImageRemoteUrlToYour_Controller image_remote_url:string
$ rake db:migrate
Edit your Model
attr_accessible :description, :image, :image_remote_url
.
.
.
def image_remote_url=(url_value)
self.image = URI.parse(url_value) unless url_value.blank?
super
end
*In Rails4 you have to add the attr_accessible in the Controller.
Update your form, if you allow other to upload an Image from a URL
<%= f.input :image_remote_url, label: "Enter a URL" %>
This is a hardcore method:
original_url = url.gsub(/\?.*$/, '')
filename = original_url.gsub(/^.*\//, '')
extension = File.extname(filename)
temp_images = Magick::Image.from_blob open(url).read
temp_images[0].write(url = "/tmp/#{Uuid.uuid}#{extension}")
self.file = File.open(url)
where Uuid.uuid just makes some random ID.
Though paperclip gem is generally used for easy file uploads, I have a similar requirement at server side. I have generated an image at server and want to save it in various styles as configured in paperclip options.
I have generated the migration and my model looks like this:
attr_accessible :genimg
has_attached_file :genimg
styles: { mini: '48x48>', small: '100x100>',
product: '240x240>', large: '600x600>' },
default_style: :product
url: '/images/:basename.:extension',
path: ':rails_root/app/assets/images/:basename.:extension'
convert_options: { all: '-strip -auto-orient' }
Is there a way I can save my local image in various formats using paperclip. How can I do so? If that's not possible, what are the other possible way to try out?
class YourController < ActionController::Base
def your_action
#image = Image.find 1 # (might be other way how you get the asset)
file_path = '/path/to/your/file'
file = File.open(file_path, 'r')
#image.asset = file
#image.save
end
end
in console you might do:
Image.new(:data => File.new(path_to_your_file, "r"))
I have searched for quite a bit on this issue and cannot seem to get it to work (stackoverflow, the Carrierwave Railscasts).
First off, I have zero issues uploading the image. That is working fine. Now the image is quite big and I would like to make it smaller. Currently my avatar_uploader.rb file is:
require 'carrierwave/orm/activerecord'
class AvatarUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
include CarrierWave::RMagick
storage :file
def store_dir
"uploads/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/#{model.id}"
end
version :thumb do
process :resize_to_limit => [50,50]
end
def extension_white_list
%w(jpg jpeg gif png)
end
end
After watching the railscasts (even though it's from the 2011), it seems you have to pass :thumb to your view, such as:
<%= image_tag(user.avatar(:thumb).to_s) %>
This is giving me an error in the browser of:
wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)
I'm not even sure it's necessary to have to pass :thumb into your view. Is it?
I know this is a fairly easy fix, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
It looks like the syntax has changed, since then. When in doubt, consult the official documentation:
uploader.url # => '/url/to/my_file.png' # size: 800x800
uploader.thumb.url # => '/url/to/thumb_my_file.png' # size: 200x200
or, in your case, probably:
user.avatar.thumb.url
I am trying to change the basename (filename) of photos:
In my model I have:
attr_accessor :image_url, :basename
has_attached_file :image,
:styles => { :original => ["300x250>", :png], :small => ["165x138>", :png] },
:url => "/images/lille/:style/:id/:basename.:extension",
:path => ":rails_root/public/images/lille/:style/:id/:basename.:extension"
before_save :basename
private
def basename
self.basename = "HALLLO"
end
But the filename is not changed at all.
If you are assigning the file directly you can do this:
photo.image = the_file
photo.image.instance_write(:file_name, "the_desired_filename.png")
photo.save
Im doing this to strip whitespaces:
before_post_process :transliterate_file_name
private
def transliterate_file_name
self.instance_variable_get(:#_paperclip_attachments).keys.each do |attachment|
attachment_file_name = (attachment.to_s + '_file_name').to_sym
if self.send(attachment_file_name)
self.send(attachment).instance_write(:file_name, self.send(attachment_file_name).gsub(/ /,'_'))
end
end
end
I hope this will help you.
edit:
In your example:
def basename
self.image_file_name = "foobar"
end
Should do the job. (but might rename the method ;) )
Paperclip now allows you to pass in a FilenameCleaner object when setting up has_attached_file.
Your FilenameCleaner object must respond to call with filename as the only parameter. The default FilenameCleaner removes invalid characters if restricted_characters option is supplied when setting up has_attached_file.
So it'll look something like:
has_attached_file :image,
filename_cleaner: MyRandomFilenameCleaner.new
styles: { thumbnail: '100x100' }
And MyRandomFilenameCleaner will be:
class MyRandomFilenameCleaner
def call(filename)
extension = File.extname(filename).downcase
"#{Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(filename + Time.current.to_s).slice(0..10)}#{extension}"
end
end
You could get away with passing in a class that has a self.call method rather than an object but this conforms to Paperclip's documentation in Attachment.rb.
I wanted to avoid having to add a before_create callback to every model with an attachment. I had a look at the source and at the time of this writing it looked sth like:
module Paperclip
class Attachment
...
def assign_file_information
instance_write(:file_name, cleanup_filename(#file.original_filename))
instance_write(:content_type, #file.content_type.to_s.strip)
instance_write(:file_size, #file.size)
end
So you could just patch cleanup_filename.
config/initializers/paperclip.rb
module Paperclip
class Attachment
def cleanup_filename(filename)
"HALLLO"
end
end
end
