I use this method for renaming the image before the saving:
def rename_avatar
self.avatar.instance_write :file_name, Time.now.to_i.to_s
end
before_post_process :rename_avatar
The image is renamed by the current time, but there's not added the file type, instead of 1334487964.jpg is saved only 1334487964..
What I missing there? I thought :file_name contains only the file name - without the file type
This is the way how I fix my issue:
def rename_avatar
#avatar_file_name - important is the first word - avatar - depends on your column in DB table
extension = File.extname(avatar_file_name).downcase
self.avatar.instance_write :file_name, "#{Time.now.to_i.to_s}#{extension}"
end
