I am using the following Gems:
'paperclip'
'aws-sdk', '~> 2.3'
I would like to save images to S3, but am unable to get them to save.
model/user.rb
class User < ApplicationRecord
# This method associates the attribute ":avatar" with a file attachment
has_attached_file :avatar, styles: {
thumb: '100x100>',
square: '200x200#',
medium: '300x300>'
}
# Validate the attached image is image/jpg, image/png, etc
validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, :content_type => /\Aimage\/.*\Z/
end
migration
class AddAvatarToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.1]
def self.up
add_attachment :users, :avatar
end
def self.down
remove_attachment :users, :avatar
end
end
controllers/users_controller.rb
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def edit
#user = User.find_by(id: params[:id])
end
def update
#user = User.find(params[:id])
if #user.update(user_params)
flash[:notice] = "Edit successfully"
redirect_to("/users/#{#user.id}")
end
end
private
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:avatar, :name, :email, :phone_number, :description, :college_name)
end
end
Why is the image avatar not being stored in the database?
Should I add any database columns? What should I do? I would appreciate any input to help me solve this problem.
Paperclip must be configured to use S3 to store the objects (images). It will store metadata associated with these in the database, but not the images.
See Paperclip Documentation
You will also need to set an access policy for your S3 bucket, and define on the User model how they are to be addressed from S3.

I am new to ROR and using active admin for generating a small app. I have belongs to and has many relation ships defined in the models. My app is working good for the pages where belongs to does not apply. In the page where belongs to comes into action I have drop down created by Active Admin, however when I select the values from drop down and save the form, values selected from drop down is not getting saved. below are my model controller and active admin pages codes. Please help me fix this issue.
ActiveAdmin.register Componentdetail do
models:
class Preference < ActiveRecord::Base

f.inputs 'Details' do
f.input :message
f.input :componentdetail
end
f.actions
end
end
ActiveAdmin.register Componentdetail do
end
issue comes when I try to create new Prefcomprelation and select preference and componentdetails value from the dropdown menu and try to save.
same happens to the message page.
form do |f|
f.inputs "Product Details" do
f.input :name, :as => :select,
:collection => Product.all.map{|u| ["#{u.product_name}", u.product_name]}
f.input :description
f.input :image
f.input :quantity
end
f.actions
end
Try to add drop down like above and save select value in active admin.
The idea is simple. I require a nested attribute tag for user registration. tag requires a user_id.
the view
<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: registration_path(resource_name), html: {role: :form}) do |f| %>
<%= f.fields_for :tags, resource.tags.build do |a| %>
<%= a.text_field :tagname %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
tag migration
class CreateTags < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :tags do |t|
t.string :tagname
t.references :user, index: true
t.timestamps
end
add_index :tags, :tagname, unique: true
end
end
the tag model
class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
validates_presence_of :user_id
validates_uniqueness_of :tagname
end
the user model
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :tags, autosave: true, dependent: :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :tags
end
strong parameters
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(
:tags_attributes => [:id, :user_id, :tagname]
) }
The save feature is untouched at the moment. The form passes the nested attribute :tagname just fine. But I've been unable to get the "would be" user_id from resource.
I've already looked for hours online for any answer to this. None has appeared, but the idea that the nested attribute should be saved after the initial user object is saved sounds like a workable solution. But then it's no longer handled as a nested attribute.
Help is appreciated! Thanks!
Solution
Alright I solved it. I bastardised my devise registrations controller a bit, but it works.
First I removed user_id verification from my tag model.
class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
validates_uniqueness_of :tagname
end
I then proceeded with modifying the devise registration controller.
def create
build_resource(sign_up_params)
# added code begins here
#tag = nil
#tag.define_singleton_method(:valid?) {false}
if params["user"].has_key? "tags_attributes"
#tag = Tag.new(params["user"].delete("tags_attributes").values.first)
if #tag.valid?
resource_saved = resource.save # original line of code
else
resource.errors.add(*#tag.errors.first)
flash.delete :tagname_error
set_flash_message :alert, :tag_taken if is_flashing_format?
end
else
set_flash_message :alert, :need_tag if is_flashing_format?
end
# end added code
yield resource if block_given?
if resource_saved
if resource.active_for_authentication?
set_flash_message :notice, :signed_up if is_flashing_format?
sign_up(resource_name, resource)
# This is where current_user has been created and resource.id == current_user.id
# begin added code
#tag.user_id= resource.id
# end added code
respond_with resource, location: after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
else
set_flash_message :notice, :"signed_up_but_#{resource.inactive_message}" if is_flashing_format?
expire_data_after_sign_in!
respond_with resource, location: after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(resource)
end
else
clean_up_passwords resource
#validatable = devise_mapping.validatable?
if #validatable
#minimum_password_length = resource_class.password_length.min
end
respond_with resource
end
end
I've defined :tag_taken and :need_tag in my devise locales file for translations of the error string.
And everything works!
For the record this is in addition to the existing code in the question.
I'm following this video tutorial and learning how to create authentication from scratch:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5RDisWr_7Q
Here is my migration file for User:
class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :users do |t|
t.string :email
t.string :password_hash
t.string :password_salt
t.timestamps
end
end
end
And my controller:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def new
#user = User.new
end
def create
#user = User.new(params[:users])
if #user.save
redirect_to root_url, :notice => "Signed up!"
else
render "new"
end
end
end
And finally my Model:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :email, :password_hash, :password_salt
before_save :encrypt_password
validates_confirmation_of :password
validates :password, presence: true
validates :email, presence: true
def encrypt_password
if password.present?
self.password_salt = BCrypt::Engine.generate_salt
self.password_hash = BCrypt::Engine.hash_secret(password, password_salt)
end
end
end
Now, I think I know why this error is firing; obviously the #user.save call is trying to save the value in password to the password field in the User table, but that field doesn't exist in the database. In the video he mentions that to fix this bug I should just add: attr_accessible :password to my model and it should work, but I get the following error:
NoMethodError in UsersController#create
undefined method `password' for #
app/controllers/users_controller.rb:8:in `create'
Any suggestions? I just would like to take advantage of the validations that come with using a strongly typed model instead of loose html fields.
You have attr_accessible :password_hash, :password_salt, but I think it should be attr_accessible :password together with attr_accessor :password since you need a virtual attribute password on which you work in your encrypt_password method. So:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :email, :password
attr_accessor :password
end
attr_accessor creates the virtual attribute which is not available as a database field (therefore virtual).
attr_accessible is a security mechanism to white-list attributes which are allowed to be set through mass-assignment like you do with User.new(params[:users])
I am not able to create new api_user. Everytime I try to create it I get
Can't mass-assign protected attributes: utf8, authenticity_token, api_user, commit, action, controller
here's my model api_user.rb
class ApiUser < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :api_key, :count, :email, :name, :organization
end
controller api_users_controller.rb
class ApiUsersController < ApplicationController
#skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token
def new
#api_user = ApiUser.new
end
def create
#api_user=ApiUser.create(params)
render :text=>"#{#api_user.id}"
end
def destroy
#api_user=ApiUser.find(params[:id])
#api_user.destroy
render :text=>"Deleted successfully"
end
end
I am using Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3.2.3
In order to create the ApiUser, you should use only the correct params:
#api_user=ApiUser.create(params[:api_user])
not all the paramshash
My project:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessor :password
attr_accessible :email,
:password,
:password_confirmation,
:first_name,
:last_name,
:birth_date,
:residence,
:user_role,
:show_email,
:avatar
as_attached_file :avatar,
:default_url => '/images/system/user_avatars/default/default_avatar.png',
:url => "/public/images/system/user_avatars/:id_:style.:extension",
:path => "/public/system/user_avatars/:id_:style.:extension"
def update_profile(user_id, params) #params has :category and :user params
#user = User.find(user_id)
#user.update_attributes(params[:user])
return params[:category]
end
end
So, from my controller i call this method and i get no error. Paperclip shows attachment saved. The database is updated, but the image file is not saved. I have an registration made from scratch, so that's why i have the "attr_accessor :password"
I checked:
Have :multipart => true in form
Have attr_accessible :avatar in user model
Can any one give me some lead, cos i cant figure, why paperclip dosnt save the file.
Set attr_accessible :avatar_file_name as well, and you also need a paperclip.rb initializer:
require "paperclip"
Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/ImageMagick"
And, of course, have ImageMagick installed.
