  include Mongoid::Timestamps

  mount_uploader :image, ImageFileUploader
  embedded_in :some_model, :inverse_of => :photos
  validates_presence_of :image

some_model.rb

class SomeModel
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Associations::EmbeddedCallbacks

Thanks.. this is working for me, but do we still need to update the method signature as suggested here:

Hey zerobearing2

I know this post is pretty old, but could you tell me where to put the 'embedded_callbacks.rb' file? I am new to rails and I'm not sure where to put files like this.

Thanks!

Zach,

Just place it where ever your ruby files would get auto-loaded. {root}/lib is a good place.
