Don’t simply test for the presence of the magic Paperclip attribute, it will return a paperclip Attachment object and thus always be true:
- if user.photo.present? # always true
= image_tag(user.photo.url)Use #photo? instead:
- if user.photo?
= image_tag(user.photo.url)
just use the file_name column to check.
def thumbnail_path
thumbnail_file_name.present? ? thumbnail : nil
end
user.photo.exists? Always return me 'false', for both the cases.
It is showing me some message as, 'Digest::Digest is deprecated; use Digest', and then giving me 'false'.
user.photo_file_name.blank? is how i do it
user.photo.exists?seems to actually beuser.photo.exists?(:original). For some reason I didn't have an 'original' for some of my older attachments and this caused the logic to fail even though the thumbnails etc... were there.
