This tutorial is an extension of the paperclip tutorial I put up last week. This time we are going to take advantage of polymorphic paperclip. Polymorphic paperclip utilizes separate tables (an assets table and an attachings table) to track your attachments. This allows for an unlimited number of attachments per item per model. In the first tutorial I showed you how to attach just one item, although you could add more columns to your table to handle additional attachments this way is a lot more flexible. While this plugin is not perfect, there is a lot of room for improvement, its a great starting point. Perhaps a fork is on its way from me…
