How to: Use a timestamp in file names

You can include a timestamp in filenames overriding the filename as you can read in Carrierwave docs:

class PhotoUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  def filename
     @name ||= "#{Time.now.to_i}-#{super}" if super.present?
  end
end

Don't forget to memoize the result in an instance variable or you might get different timestamps written to the database and the file store.
