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 gem: gem 'paperclip-youtube', :require => 'paperclip'

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 %>
