Hi,
I have some images stored in the database and am attempting to build a
img link to them. I would prefer to use a syntax that doesn''t restrict
me to a hard coded path, something like this:
<%= image_tag(url_for(:controller => ''member_pics'',
:action => ''show'',
:id => member_pic.id),
:alt => member_pic.member.full_name,
:size => "150x150") %>
However rails appends a .png automatically to my path so that the
functional path "/member_pics/show/4" becomes the disfunctional path
"/member_pics/show/4.png".
Is there a way to disable the magic in this case (rails 0.13.1)? I have
worked around the issue for now by building up the img tag myself ...
<img src="<%= url_for :controller =>
''member_pics'', :action =>
''show'', :id => member_pic.id %>" alt="<%=
member_pic.member.full_name
%>" height="150" width="150">
Thanks,
Fraser
Yeah, an :add_suffix=>false or something would be nice. I may run into this problem myself, and would probably use .sub(/\..*$/,'''') to remove the suffix. csn --- Fraser Campbell <fraser-eicrhRFjby5dCsDujFhwbypxlwaOVQ5f@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi, > > I have some images stored in the database and am attempting to build a > img link to them.
