Paperclip not saving your images?

I’ve had a few guys email me asking if I had any idea why Paperclip wasn’t saving their uploaded images. Here’s a form one of them sent me:

<% form_for(@post) do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_messages %>
 
 
    <%= f.label :title %>
    <%= f.text_field :title %>
 
 
 
    <%= f.label :description %>
    <%= f.text_area :description %>
 
 
  <%= f.file_field :image %>
 
 
    <%= f.submit "Update" %>
 
 
<% end %>

Notice anything different on this form?

<% form_for(@post, :html => { :multipart => true }) do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_messages %>
 
 
    <%= f.label :title %>
    <%= f.text_field :title %>
 
 
 
    <%= f.label :description %>
    <%= f.text_area :description %>
 
 
  <%= f.file_field :image %>
 
 
    <%= f.submit "Update" %>
 
 
<% end %>

Simple mistake, but I’ve done it a few times in the early AM and wondered WTF was going on!
