uploader

Uploader is a sample app that uses the Paperclip and jquery-fileupload gems to allow users to upload files via drag and drop. Files are hosted on Amazon S3.

For more information on how to use jquery-fileupload, see Railscast #381

AWS credentials

Uploader is set up to use Amazon S3 to host the files. To use S3, you'll need to create a file to store your credentials at ./config/aws.yml

The file should look similar to the following:

development:
  bucket: mybucketname
  access_key_id: XKBBISmykeyid377A
  secret_access_key: safdshfuosecretaccesskeynsdfjl4ujklbnlkh

test:
  bucket: mybucketname
  access_key_id: XKBBISmykeyid377A
  secret_access_key: safdshfuosecretaccesskeynsdfjl4ujklbnlkh

production:
  bucket: mybucketname
  access_key_id: XKBBISmykeyid377A
  secret_access_key: safdshfuosecretaccesskeynsdfjl4ujklbnlkh
