I just installed the plugin for Paperclip and I am getting an error message "undefined method has_attached_file for. Not sure why I am getting this. Here is the full error message.
NoMethodError (undefined method `has_attached_file' for #<Class:0x10338acd0>):
/Users/bgadoci/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/will_paginate-2.3.12/lib/will_paginate/finder.rb:170:in `method_missing'
app/models/post.rb:2
app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:50:in `show'
For some reason it is referencing the will_paginate gem. From what I can find, it seems that either there is something wrong w/ my PostsController#index or perhaps a previously attempt at installing the gem instead of the plugin (in which case I have read I should be able to remedy through the /config/environments.rb file somehow). I didn't think that previous gem installation would matter as I did it in an old version of the site that I trashed before installing the plugin. In the current version of the site I show that the Table has been updated with the Paperclip columns after migration. Here is my code:
PostsController#index
def index
@tag_counts = Tag.count(:group => :tag_name,
:order => 'count_all DESC', :limit => 20)
conditions, joins = {}, :votes
@vote_counts = Vote.count(:group => :post_title,
:order => 'count_all DESC', :limit => 20)
conditions, joins = {}, :votes
unless(params[:tag_name] || "").empty?
conditions = ["tags.tag_name = ? ", params[:tag_name]]
joins = [:tags, :votes]
end
@posts=Post.paginate(
:select => "posts.*, count(*) as vote_total",
:joins => joins,
:conditions=> conditions,
:group => "votes.post_id",
:order => "created_at DESC",
:page => params[:page], :per_page => 5)
@popular_posts=Post.paginate(
:select => "posts.*, count(*) as vote_total",
:joins => joins,
:conditions=> conditions,
:group => "votes.post_id",
:order => "vote_total DESC",
:page => params[:page], :per_page => 3)
