The following inserts a new product, no problem. Howeve, I have to prefix
the filename with "\images\" so upon retrieval it will looki in the
right
directory.
How can I modify this code to append "\images\" to the filename
column?
def create
@product = Product.new(@params[:product])
if @product.save
flash[''notice''] = ''Product was successfully
created.''
end
end

You can define a before_save callback in your model to call a function which will prepend "\images\".

This approach might be problematic if you''re creating new products in other actions or elsewhere in your rails app. Using before_save won''t pose the same problem.
