similar to: Rails table pluralizing Issue

Hi all. I am wrting a small content management tool for my company and was trying to display some images from our file store shown below. <td> <img src="\\xx.xx.xxx.xx\xx\xx\xxx\abc.gif"/> The app was displaying the image when it is under the \public\images directory. Is there anything special we need to do to get a file from outside the root of the application? Any help

Some days back there was a mention about an open source image editor that people uses for application layout designing. I have forgotten about the name of that software. Can someone send me the link? Silvy Mathews

I am sure some of you can give me an insight into this. This is more towards the database design for the scenario below: Say for example, I have a person table and this person can have different address types. One could be Home and the other could be say Office. Should be model this Table people id fname lname Table addresses id person_id addr1 addr2 .... or Table people id fname lname

Hi All, I need your suggestions for the following. I am still learning RoR and pardon my ignorance. I have say two tables.
