CNAME example

[mpokress]

Hi-

I am trying to set up Paperclip to generate a CNAME based URL for the
images. I seem to be missing something when reading the comment in
storage.rb. Here is what I have done:

has_attached_file :attachment1,
:styles => {:thumb => ["150x150>", :jpg],
:medium => ["500x500>", :jpg],
:square => ["150x150#", :jpg]},
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/aws.yml",
:url => :s3_alias_url,
:s3_host_alias => 'foo.company.com',
:path => ":attachment/:id/:style/:basename.:extension"

This is with the latest from github.

Thanks,

Matt

Hello Matt,

Were you able to figure this out? I am having the same problem. The
url shows the path url not the cname format.

Thanks,

Btw, does anybody have a working copy of the settings for paperclip, S3 with a CNAME? I spent the entire morning browsing Google and trying different options without much luck.

Thanks for any help in advance,

Andrei

Andrei-

I did not have any luck with this and ended up adding a method to my
model that parses the URL and returns what I want (with CNAME
substitution). I'm not happy about it, but I had to move on to other
problems.

The url option must be :url => ":s3_alias_url", as it is an
interpolation of a variable, not a symbol on its own. I agree that
this isn't the most straightforward implementation of this and I would
like to change it at some point.
