PaperclipPolymorph

This plugin allows users of the Paperclip plugin to easily share attached files between
multiple models. Essentially, polymorphic paperclip transparently saves the attached files
into a separate asset’s table and associates the the model to the asset through a polymorphic
attachings table.

The Paperclip Plugin must also be installed for PolyMorphicPaperclip to work.
Get paperclip here:
http://thoughtbot.com/projects/paperclip

Example

class PhotoEssay < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_polymorphic_paperclip
end

You can also add a counter_cache to your model if you wish.



class Essay < ActiveRecord::Base

  acts_as_polymorphic_paperclip :counter_cache => true

end
essay.assets.attach(asset)

essay.assets.asset.detach -or- @essay.assets.detach(asset)

Helper methods

There is one helper method so far used to determine if the asset can be displayed in a browser



@essay.assets.first.browser_safe? # => returns true or false
