I'm having trouble moving the upload avatar action to the user edit action rather than user new action as is the case in the example. I recognise that this is probably my problem rather than a problem with app, but it might be useful if there was a bit of guidance in the README about how to approach this. I've got a question up on SO but if there was someone who could give me advice on how to approach this, I'd be happy to write it up for the README if that was useful.

Anyway, thanks for all the work in the gem. Dan

Hi,

This is a great repo and I've used this as a reference to a lot of apps. It would also help if you'd write some basic unit tests to demonstrate the usage!

Getting an error when I click on the Upload avatar link. Gonna try to debug it a bit, but wanted to bring it up just incase somebody already has a solution.

Ruby 1.9.3p327
Rails 3.2.12

TypeError in Avatars#new

Showing /Users/ramin/tmp/carrierwave_direct_example/app/views/avatars/new.html.erb where line #2 raised:

can't convert nil into String
Extracted source (around line #2):
