module ScribdFuHelper
  # Displays the scribd object for the attachment on the given +object+. If
  # +alt_text_or_attribute+ is given, then it will be used as the alternate text
  # for an Attachment_fu model, or as the attribute name for a Paperclip
  # model. If you want to specify alternate text for a Paperclip model, use the
  # last parameter, +alt_text_if_paperclip+.
  #
  # If you are using Paperclip, you _must_ specify +alt_text_or_attribute+ as
  # the attribute on which the scribd object exists.
  #
  # For example, using Attachment_fu:
  #  <%= display_scribd document %>
  #  <%= display_scribd document, 'You need Flash to view this document' %>
  #
  # Using Paperclip:
  #  <%= display_scribd user, :biography %>
  #  <%= display_scribd user, :biography, 'You need Flash for biographies." %>
  def display_scribd(object, alt_text_or_attribute = '', alt_text_if_paperclip = nil)
    # Resolve the right scribd ID, access key, and alt text.
