How show hide image in paperclip when no image present
I use the following to find wether a model has an associated attachment:
<% if @agent.avatar.file? %> <%= image_tag @agent.avatar.url(:normal) %><% else %> No attachment available!<% end %>
If avatar has multiple sizes:
has_attached_file :avatar, :styles => {:small => '30x30#', :large => '100x100#'}, :default_url => '/images/missing_:style.png'for Rails 3:
has_attached_file :avatar, :styles => {:small => '30x30#', :large => '100x100#'}, :default_url => '/assets/images/missing_:style.png'
Okay, so I got one part of it.
Specifying a default image happens in the model
has_attached_file :avatar, :default_url => '/images/brokers/agents/anonymous_icon.jpg'
