Is it possible to replace RMagick with Paperclip? #6

Closed regdog closed 12 years ago

regdog commented 12 years ago

I like the CMS design of skyline. But it is really hard to work with rmagick on Win7. Is there a way to replace rmagick with paperclip?

Sure, it should be possible to replace all the RMagick code with Paperclip (Most of the RMagick code resides in skyline/app/models/skyline/media_file.rb

As long as the external API of the model stays the same (and it still does the same things with the image)

Hi Reddog, I must honest and confess that we have no experience with paperclip. So we can't help you much there. Also, it's never been our goal to run Skyline in a Windows environment and although we've managed to get it running on WinXP I think it will cause some headaches to do the same in Win7.

Sorry I can't help you any further on this. But feel free to experiment and if you manage to get it running please let us know as it might be helpful for others struggling with the same problem.

Cheers, Luis

Hi Flurin and Luisdoubrava,

Thanks for addressing on this issue! I plan to start struggling with Win7. I've made to install RMagick 2.13.1 on Win7. Next to try installing Skyline both as a packaged gem and a local gem. I would like to share my experience if everything works smoothly. Before that I am afraid that I will meet a bunch of issues.
