cl_video_tag / cl_video_path + Rails

Hi all,

I have a Rails app (4.1.5) that is using Attachinary / Cloudinary to allow select users upload and store images, videos, pdfs, docs, etc. Upload works great, I can see everything up there, stored in logic places with logical paths.

However, I am unable to show the uploaded videos. That is, I can download and show thumbs for images, pdfs, etc. with cl_image_path, but cl_video_path does not work. I get a:

undefined method `cl_video_path' for #<#<Class:0x00007feace36a630>:0x00007feac72abbb0> Did you mean? cl_image_path

I cannot use image_path because it will try to link to /image/upload/publicid. I need /video/upload/publicid. All docs that I have read seem to point to cl_video_path being the answer I'm looking for here. Why is it an undefined method?

 

Thanks

  Hi Mary,

  Please find the following Attachinary sample project:
  https://github.com/taragano/attachinary_all_types

  Specifically, here's how to display a video tag: Note that it'll render the full video tag, not just the URL:
  https://github.com/taragano/attachinary_all_types/blob/master/app/views/posts/_preview.html.erb#L7

  Having said that, cl_video_path does seem to work well for me, e.g. (a is the model record, and file is the attachinary-associated attribute):

  cl_video_path a.file.public_id, format: a.file.format
  

  If that still doesn't work, please make sure you're using the latest versions of both SDKs (Cloudinary and Attachinary).

  As an alternative, you can use the following instead:

  cloudinary_url a.file.public_id, format: a.file.format, resource_type: a.file.resource_type
