I’ve finished and launched my project using the image uploader/cropper, so I’m hoping to do another write-up some time soon. If I do, it will be on my new software development blog at http://thelastpixel.net/ instead of here on my personal blog. Please check there for updates.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Unfortunately I don’t have the time right now to post another tutorial. What I’m doing in my project is using Paperclip, the Flash- and JQuery-based Uploadify (http://www.uploadify.com/), and jQuery’s Jcrop (http://deepliquid.com/content/Jcrop.html). It’s still a bit of a mess, but it works.

Hi Mike,

are you still planning on write a how to using paperclip with uploadify? I was wondering how that is coming along, since that is the exact thing that I would need right now. Cant find anything else on the web…

Cheers J.

Hi. First I’d like to thank you for this great tutorial. Im having trouble cropping my pictures through Imagemagick… this is the error that comes up:
Invalid JPEG file structure: missing SOS marker `C:/myfiles/InstantRails/rails_apps/dog/public/photos/3/original/termo1.jpg’ @ jpeg.c/EmitMessage/232

Do you have any idea of what this may indicate? How can I fix it?

Thanks

Anybody knows how can I show the dog image near the description in the _uploads partial form?

I don’t know which are the parameters for the image_tag helper. How i can get the url?

Hi,

I have a question:

How do you paginate the images from attribute_fu or the @dogs_uploads?

Thanks

For those who are interested, I found the following similar solution for uploading with Paperclip and then cropping: http://github.com/jschwindt/rjcrop/tree/master

Thanks for all the comments. Now that Rails 2.3 supports nested model attributes, some of the above (e.g. attribute_fu) needs to change. I also, as Paul points out, need to move away from RMagick. This was a proof-of-concept test, and for my real code I've integrated Uploadify to do uploads using Flash, giving real-time feedback via a progress bar. Once I'm done with everything I'll post a new article with all the updates (Uploadify, no RMagick, no attribute_fu, etc.)
