I'm using CarrierWave gem and Rails 3.2. When in production, Rails requires me to pre-compile the user image folder.
Currently my CarrierWave upload images to public/assets/images and I'm ignoring public folder in .gitignore.
Is there a better practice for this?
This question and answers provide you with better options for managing CarrierWave upload images

I'm getting an error when generating shopify app using rails. Screenshot is shown below:
Can anyone tell me what is going wrong?
You have probably added the shopify gem to the gems file.
all you need to do is to run
bundle install
so the app will install and use the new gem

it doesn't have to do anything with paperclip actually.
I am using mootools, with mootools I am using FancyUpload which has lots of options and is very well written and easy to debug, rewrite, extend etc...
When you use this, you get an "Ajax" upload with a progress bar.
if you are using jQuery, there are many plugins for that as well.
it's very easy to integrate into the project.
quick question about Heroku. My app is using a gem called opentok. To function outside of a "sandbox" mode, the app requires changing an API link in a gem file called opentok.rb. I did that locally and the app works fine. however, when I deploy to heroku, the app does not work because heroku looks at my gem file and gets the unmodified gem lib of opentok which then runs my app on the heroku server in sandbox mode.
Is there a way I can access the opentok gem file (opentok.rb) on the heroku server and edit it with gvim from a console?
Thank you!!
Unpack the gem to your vendor directory, edit it as you require, then tell Bundler where to retrieve the gem from.
Command line:
gem unpack opentok-VERSION --target vendor/gems
Bundler:
gem 'opentok', :path => "vendor/gems/opentok-VERSION"
After you've done all this, do a bundle install, add the vendored Gem to your git repository, and push to heroku.
For the opentok gem, though, the api url can be passed directly as an option:
opentok = OpenTok::OpenTokSDK.new #api_key, #api_secret, :api_url => 'https://api.opentok.com/hl'
this feature is documented in the spec/opentok_spec.rb file. Look for:
it "should be possible to set the api url as an option" do
Thanks to Stijnster, the opentok gem creator, for pointing it out to me!
