ok, im back. has_attached_file :photo, :styles => { :original => ["100%", :jpg], } <=== this here is incomplete and is you are only having the original
image there is no need to specify the style, and paperclip wont convert the image to jpg, also is not good to put convertion in the same thread as the main app. def height() uploaded_file = photo.queued_for_write[:original] dimensions = Paperclip::Geometry.from_file(uploaded_file) <==== is better to save the image in a specific size by doing return dimensions.height :styles=>{:small=>"150x150>",:big=>"900x900>"} end def width() uploaded_file = photo.queued_for_write[:original] dimensions = Paperclip::Geometry.from_file(uploaded_file) <==== is better to save the image in a specific size by doing return dimensions.width :styles=>{:small=>"150x150>",:big=>"900x900>"} end end them you always know the correct size, but anyway your question is wrong as this has nothing to do with models, your height() are unnecesary as you should just save the width and height on the save event as properties. add width and hieght as fields of the table. def before_save baunds = Paperclip::geometry.from_file(uploaded_file(:original)) width = bounds.width height = bounds.height end then instanciate and object and call the properties from it -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
