How do I fetch the file size of each style of a paperclip attachment?
#user.attachment_file_size doesn't seem to work
#user.attachment(:style).size
gives a number not related to the actual file size
I didn't find either how to get the file size for a given style, other than the original one.
As seen in the paperclip source code, #user.attachment.size returns the size of the file as originally assigned. There is no way to get it for a specific style...
A solution would be:
open(#user.attachment(:style)).size
But not efficient at all.
To do it well, you should probably add some "custom size" fields in your attachment table that you would fill once the attachment is saved for each style...
User find by ID(for example)
User has :photo
#user.last.photo_file_size
You can get a string like "WIDTHxHEIGHT" inside styles hash, for the giving object's style, using Paperclip::Style#geometry:
string = #user.attachment.styles[:size].geometry
Than you can split the string to have either height or width:
width = string.split("x")[0]
height = string.split("x")[1]
It seems it is possible actually
Just have to cath the temporary files for each style and applying size method.
let's say you have two styles large and small for your attachment called image and you have created two extra fields in your model large_size and small_size to save those values.
Just add the below bit of code to your model:
before_create :assign_sizes
private
def assign_sizes
self.large_size = image.queued_for_write[:large].size.to_i
self.small_size = image.queued_for_write[:small].size.to_i
end
The fields large_size and small_size will be popuated with each style file size. And this will be done before the files are sent to S3 for example. So there is no extra querying the files headers from S3.

Which is the better approach for storing image name in database? I have two choices first one is to store just image name e.g. apple.png and second choice is to store full image URL e.g. abc.com/src/apple.png.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Best practice is not save full path to image like abc.com/src/apple.png but saving specific domain path to image. Ex:
Users image : /user/{id}/avatar/img.png
Product image: /product/{id}/1.png
In this case you avoid sticking images to defined server, server path, url etc. For example, you will decide to move all your images to another server, in this case you don't need to change all records in DB.
The 2 answers already covered it pretty well. It is indeed best practice to save the directory path instead of saving the entire URL path. Some of the reasons were already covered, such as making it easy to move your folders to another server without having to make any changes whatsoever in your file logic.
What you could do, is also have everything in one directory, refer to that, and then just save the image name. However, I would not recommend that. The other structure simply makes it way easier to navigate and look through. Good file structure is something you'll thank yourself for later in case you ever have to go through things manually for one reason or another.
With that said, I'd like to add this trick into the mix:
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. This always makes you start from the root directory as opposed to having to do tedious things, such as ../../ etc. It looks like a mess.
So in the end as an image path, you'd have something like:
<img src="<?php echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/'.$row['filePath']; ?>" >
$row['filePath'] being your stored filepath from the database.
Depending on how your file path is saved, you can lose the / in the image source link.
first of all you need to upload all images in public folder of your project , so no need to save domain name
If you are storing all images in one directory , then there is no problem storing only imagename in database
you can easily access images like <img src="/foldername/imagename.jpg" />
but if in your project there are multiple directory like
profile :to save user avatar image ,
background : to save background images,
then it is better to save image with path in database like "/profile/avatar.jpg"
so you can access image like <img src="imagepathhere" />
Another common way is to create image table with cols
id
type (enum or int)
name (file name)
Define in your app (better in model) types like
USER_AVATAR = 1;
PRODUCT_IMG = 2;
Define path map foreach image type like:
$paths = [
USER_AVATAR => '/var/www/project/web/images/users',
...
];
and use id's from this image table in another tables. It is called polymorphic association. It is most flexible way to store images.
I am using File[] imageFile = PdfUtilities.convertPdf2Png(new File("MYPATH")) command to generate png from pdf , which is giving file name as "workingimage01","workingimage02"...."workingimage0n" and so on, is it possible to change this name setting by the time png's are generated. Thanks in advance.
I am trying this command for 10 pdf parallel, so it is overlapping. thats why i need to know is there a way or i am asking out of the box question.
The name is hard coded in the source. You can create an overloaded method that takes another parameter for the working files' name.
I would like to know, how can i reuse one template (with one page inside and some variables) multiple times a XWPFDocument object.
My idea is:
load the template once in a XWPFDocument as an template-object
clone/create/copy the template-object with all his styles and headers etc
fill the clone with content
add this clone to the destination-XWPFDocument
I got this work for one single page only.
When i try to clone/create/copy the template-object it will lose all his style informations.
How to copy a paragraph of .docx to another .docx withJava and retain the style
How to copy some content in one .docx to another .docx , using POI without losing format?
POI probably does not support this out of the box, but I have done a similar thing in my project poi-mail-merge, it works with the underlying XML to repeatedly replace markers in a template Microsoft Word document and combine the results into one resulting document.
So it basically duplicates the template document multiple times into the resulting document.
See here for how I do it there, basically I work on the XML body text and do replacements/changes there and then append it onto the result document.
POI Mail Merge propably helps in other cases but in my case it doesn't work.
My Workaround is to update my Template-XWPFDocument to the needed structure first, save it temporarily and read it back into a XWPFDocument-object.
Here the steps:
Read the template-file into a XWPFDocument
Read the records from data-file e.g. csv
Calculate the numbers of pages related to the data-records
Get the Bodyelements-Objects from the Template-XWPFDocument
Create new Bodyelements (depending to the numbers of pages) in the Template-XWPFDocument and replace them with the same Objects that we get before
Save the updated Template-XWPFDocument temporarily
Read the temporarily saved Template into a XWPFDocument
Replace all placeholder and fill them with your CSV-Data
Hope this helps somebody
I'm facing a problem and want to ask for a solution.
I'm working on an eclipse plugin project, in which an editor for a type of resource file is required. The resource file has similar structure like CSV file. My idea is to provide user the option to edit this type of file both in plain text format and also in an SWT table. Plain text is required for examining data and table provides more flexibility to editing such as sorting by column.
I have been able to create a MultiPageEditorPart, with one page of org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.TextEditor, and another page with a org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Table and several other widgets like search bar. The content of the resource file can be shown in the TextEditor, can also be edited and saved. On the other hand, the content can be loaded in the table too, sorting and searching all work good.
The problem is: when I edit a cell in the table, I want the change also reflected in the TextEditor, and vice versa. Since the resource file can be very large, I want the saving action happen only on the TextEditor, i.e. I don't want any modification in the table directly stored to resource file, but to mark the file dirty, but I can't figure out how. How can I for example get the content of EditorInput, check it line by line, and modify it outside TextEditor?
Or, are there more efficient ways to do this? Can anyone give any hints?
The IDocument used by the TextEditor gives you access to the document contents. Get this with something like:
IDocumentProvider provider = editor.getDocumentProvider();
IEditorInput input = editor.getEditorInput();
IDocument document = provider.getDocument(input);
IDocument has many methods for accessing lines such as:
int getLineOffset(int line);
int getLineLength(int line);
and methods for modify the text:
void replace(int offset, int length, String text);
I have a custom content type with 3 FileFields (plone.app.blob.field.FileField) and I want to get their url's, so i can put them on my custom view and people will be able to download these files.
However, when using Clouseau to test and debug, I call :
context.getFirst_file().absolute_url()
Where getFirst_file() is the accessor to the first file (field called 'first_file').
The url returned is 'http://foo/.../eat.00001', where 'eat.00001' is the object of my custom type that contains the file fields...
The interesting thing is, if I call:
context.getFirst_file().getContentType()
It returns 'application/pdf', which is correct since it's a pdf file.
I'm pretty lost here, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
File fields do not support a absolute_url method; instead, through acquisition you inherit the method from the object itself, hence the results you see. Moreover, calling getFirst_field() will return the actual downloadable contents of the field, not the field itself which could provide such information.
Instead, you should use the at_download script appended to the object URL, followed by the field id:
First File
You can also re-use the Archetypes widget for the field, by passing the field name to the widget method:
<metal:field use-macro="python:context.widget('first_field', mode='view')">
First File
</metal:field>
This will display the file size, icon (if available), the filename and the file mime type.
In both these examples, I assumed the name of the field is 'first_field'.
