Hi,
This is probably the stupidest question that I''m ever going to ask, but
how do I create a link to a file? To be more clear, I simply want to
create a link to a file that I am storing in the /public directory, say
file.pdf. So, I upload the file to /public/ and then I would like to be
able to do something like,
link_to( image_tag(''image.jpg''), ''file.pdf'',
{:target => "_blank"})
But, this doesn''t work: It throws a routing error.
I''m sorry, I''m sure this is really easy.
Thanks, S

You need provide path for file.. if your file.pdf in /public you should do "/public/file.pdf", otherwise it will look for controller .. and throw route error..

I''m using link_to which points to a file, however it automatically inserts my :Controller into the url which I don''t want. Can anyone tell me how to stop the controller name from appearing? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
