This is a brief description of how to get VestalVersions and Paperclip to play nicely.

The paperclip_initializer.rb extends paperclip for a new option :keep_old_files which means that paperclip won't remove the file when a new file is uploaded.  In order for this to work, the model also needs to have to have specific settings:

  #1.  The version needs to be included in the file path
  #2.  A method to get the actual path to the file. (The file may not be at the current version)

You can view both these settings in the model_files.rb file below.

Note: If you dealing with public files then you will need to include the :id_and_version option in the :url and :path.  Then in the view you need to reference the model_file.versioned_file_path.
