paperclip

*** Update

I didn't realize someone posted this just a couple of days ago.

It would be nice to be able to set some global default values for the url and path parameters instead of having to set them each time for each of the models.

I know there are hardcoded default values, but I am sure many people will not want to use them.

Even if you allow some ENV values to be set, that would be great.

Doing the below on my current project now allows me to have DRY has has_attached_file method calls within my models

ex.

module Paperclip

1. The Attachment class manages the files for a given attachment. It saves when the model saves,
2. deletes when the model is destroyed, and processes the file upon assignment.

class Attachment

def self.default_options

@default_options ||= {

:url => ENV['paperclip_url'] ||= "/uploads/:class/:style/:id_:basename.:extension",

:path => ENV['paperclip_path'] ||=":rails_root/public/uploads/:class/:style/:id_:basename.:extension",

:styles => {},

:default_url => ENV['paperclip_default_url'] ||="/uploads/:class/:style/missing.png",

:default_style => :original,

:validations => [],

:storage => :filesystem

}

end

Thanks Jon
