I want the user to be able to upload a picture as an avatar. I found excellent
information on Internet. The most popular library is probably Paperclip (https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip).
Paperclip is intended as an easy file attachment library for Active Record.
After installing Paperclip and ImageMagick (with brew), I added the code in my model :
attr_accessible :avatar, :name
has_attached_file :avatar, :styles => { :medium=>"300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>"},
:url => "/assets/restaurants/:id/:style/:basename.:extension",
:path => ":rails_root/public/assets/restaurants/:id/:style/:basename.:extension"
It's exactly like in the wiki page of Paperclip (nothing fancy).
Problem :
But when I tried to upload an image, I had this error :
... is not recognized by the 'identify' command.
On Internet, many people said to do:
which identify #/usr/local/bin/identifyAnd then add in config/environment.rb:
Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/usr/local/bin"
But this didn't work for me.
If I just tried the command "identify", I could see this error :
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libtiff.3.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/identify Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap: 5
So I was thinking there is a problem with the file "libtiff.3.dylib".
Solution :
I copied the file libtigg.3.dylib :
from : /opt/local/lib/libtiff.3.dylib
to : /usr/local/lib/libtiff.3.dylib
I restarted my rails server, and now it's working !
It's probably not the best solution, but at least it's working so far.
I think ImageMagick is looking for the file libtiff.3.dylib in a wrong folder.
Maybe if I could modify ImageMagick config file and change to the good folder, this
would be a better solution.
And that's it !
