Hi Matt,

Thanks! Got it working. For anyone else who wants to do this, this is what I
did:

class Gmeeting < ActiveRecord::Base

  hobo_model # Don't put anything above this

  fields do
    title    :string, :required
    speaker  :string, :required
    talkdate :date, :required
    abstract :text
    timestamps
  end

    has_attached_file :presentation, :path =>
":rails_root/public/group-meetings/:speaker/:talkdate/:basename.:extension"

    # interpolate in paperclip
    private
    Paperclip.interpolates :speaker  do |attachment, style|
      attachment.instance.speaker
    end

    private
    Paperclip.interpolates :talkdate do |attachment, style|
        attachment.instance.talkdate
    end
end

I also found this page to be very helpful:

Cheers,
Ben
