Using With Rails 2.3
====================

Setting up the quick way
------------------------
config/initializers/dragonfly.rb:

    require 'dragonfly/rails/images'

Setting up the more explicit way
--------------------------------
You can do the above explicitly.

config/initializers/dragonfly.rb:

    require 'dragonfly'

    app = Dragonfly[:images]
    app.configure_with(:imagemagick)
    app.configure_with(:rails)

    app.define_macro(ActiveRecord::Base, :image_accessor)

environment.rb:

    config.middleware.insert_after 'Rack::Lock', 'Dragonfly::Middleware', :images, '/media'
    config.middleware.insert_before 'Dragonfly::Middleware', 'Rack::Cache', {
      :verbose     => true,
      :metastore   => "file:#{Rails.root}/tmp/dragonfly/cache/meta",
      :entitystore => "file:#{Rails.root}/tmp/dragonfly/cache/body"
    }

Gems
----
environment.rb

    config.gem 'dragonfly', '~>0.8.6'
    config.gem 'rack-cache', :lib => 'rack/cache'

Capistrano
----------
If using Capistrano with the above, you probably will want to keep the cache between deploys, so in deploy.rb:

    namespace :dragonfly do
      desc "Symlink the Rack::Cache files"
      task :symlink, :roles => [:app] do
        run "mkdir -p #{shared_path}/tmp/dragonfly && ln -nfs #{shared_path}/tmp/dragonfly #{release_path}/tmp/dragonfly"
      end
    end
    after 'deploy:update_code', 'dragonfly:symlink'

Use it!
