How do I create an image_tag for a images stored in a lower level of the default assets/images directory? Currently I am storing all of my pictures in the assets/images/pictures folder.
Heres an example. Currently using @mypic instance variable with the stored base url:
pic1.jpg
.erb file:
<%= image_tag @mypic.photoUrl %>
creates an image tag
<img src="/assets/pic1.jpg" alt="pic1">
What I want is for the src to be /assets/images/pictures/pic1.jpg
OR is ruby on rails convention to put all my heterogeneous images (eg logo, profile pics, arrow pics, landscape pics, button pics) in the image directory?
Thanks!
The quick, easy solution would be to just write `<%= image_tag “pictures/#{@mypic.photoUrl}” %>.
