Hi, I am working through Agile Web Development with Rails and I am at pg 69 second last paragraph says "put some images in the public/images directory......" how do you code the link that is stored in the data base I have tried http:public/images/name .jpg with no avail I have tried the fully qualified address http://home/../../../../name.jpg also with no luck. How should I code this? Thank you, Paul _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
In the ''New'' and ''Editing Product'' screens,
fill in the ''Image url:''
text field with ''/images/your_image_name.jpg''. Then change the
regular expression in the ''validates_format_of :image_url
:with...''
directive (in app/models/product.rb) to be %r{\.(gif|jpg|png)$}i
(leaving off the ^http:.+ stuff).
I''ve published some of the gory details behind this change at http://
www.ruppconsulting.com/?p=7.

The url would be images/filename.jpg, not public/images/filename.jpg. I think that might be your problem. Also, you might want to take a look at the file_column plugin. Details are on the plugins page on the rails wiki.

Re: Images in Agile Web Development with Rails
Thanks David, it works now and thanks also for the article on regular expressions. That has cleared a lot of fog!

Yeah, regular expressions can be pretty foggy. :-) Glad I could help, David On Dec 28, 2005, at 7:51 PM, Paul Jonathan Thompson wrote:> Thanks David, it works now and thanks also for the article on > regular expressions.
