Paperclip and Youtube ========= The fork contains the Youtube api as a new sotrage for paperclip. See the paperclip Readme file here https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip Requirements ------------ ImageMagick must be installed and Paperclip must have access to it. To ensure that it does, on your command line, run `which convert` (one of the ImageMagick utilities). This will give you the path where that utility is installed. For example, it might return `/usr/local/bin/convert`. Then, in your environment config file, let Paperclip know to look there by adding that directory to its path. In development mode, you might add this line to `config/environments/development.rb)`: Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/usr/local/bin/" Installation ------------ as a plugin: ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/dr-click/paperclip.git Quick Start ----------- In your model: class User < ActiveRecord::Base YOUTUBE_CONFIG = {:login_name=>Your_Login_Name, :login_password=>Your_Login_Password, :youttube_username=>Your_Youtube_Username, :developer_key=>Developer_Key} has_attached_file :video, :storage=>:youtube, :youtube_options=>YOUTUBE_CONFIG, :url=> ':youtube_url' end In your migrations: class AddVideoColumnsToUser < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up add_column :users, :video_file_name, :string add_column :users, :video_content_type, :string add_column :users, :video_file_size, :integer add_column :users, :video_updated_at, :datetime add_column :users, :youtube_id, :string end def self.down remove_column :users, :video_file_name remove_column :users, :video_content_type remove_column :users, :video_file_size remove_column :users, :video_updated_at remove_column :users, :youtube_id end end In your edit and new views: <% form_for :user, @user, :url => user_path, :html => { :multipart => true } do |form| %> <%= form.file_field :video %> <% end %> In your controller: def create @user = User.create( params[:user] ) end In your show view, this will return the thumbnail image: <%= image_tag @user.video.url(:thumbnail) %> And you can return the video url, to use in the object tag: <%= @user.video.url %> Credits ------- The credits of the Youtube integration for Dr-Click : ![Dr-Click](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/56d23c8d7784cbc3804f03f9465d99c0?s=140&d=https://d3nwyuy0nl342s.cloudfront.net%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png)
