Comments on: Easy Upload via URL with Paperclip http://trevorturk.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/easy-upload-via-url-with-paperclip/ A chess-playing machine of the late 18th century, promoted as an automaton but later proved a hoax.

Works quite well. The only thing I'd do from that point is moving the private methods you added in a reusable module. Then, make a gem. ;)

I was using the whitelist approach to mass assignment with attr_accesible. The solution was to pass image_url to both attr_accessor and attr_accessible:

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base

attr_accessible :name, :description, :image_url

attr_accessor :image_url

…

end

Also, @Štefan’s fix worked for me in Rails 3.0.7

I get a :

No such file or directory – http://media.paperblog.fr/i/267/2678502/doute-L-1…
Seems like open cannot open url but only local files. Any idea ?

Thx

attr_accessor :image_url

undefined method `image_url' for #<User:0xa00aa28>

My model is set up so that a user has_attached_file :image.

Anybody got any idea what's wrong?

Although, I'm not sure that's applicable in this instance. I'm uploading directly to S3, so there's no need to pass around session identifiers.

Thanks! I'm going to be integrating this with SWFUpload and direct upload to S3. I'll post the code when I'm finished.

I found your code via Google and you made my day since you exactly created what I needed. Thanks a thousand times.
