I’m using Ruby on Rails (Edge, the development version), and Ruby rvm 1.9.2. application.js

I’m using Ruby on Rails (Edge, the development version), and Ruby rvm 1.9.2.

application.js is as follows.

//= require jquery
//= require jquery-ui
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require_tree

Where is the right place in Ruby on Rails 3.1 to put the jQuery UI theme?

According to Autocomplete fields in Ruby on Rails 3.1 with jQuery UI I should put a jQuery UI theme in vendor/assets/stylesheets folder. That sounds like a smart place to have it, but I don’t get it to work :-(.

I managed to get the CSS loaded by putting it in the assets/stylesheets folder, but the images I havn’t managed to get loaded.

I could of course be using the old way with just putting the theme in the public/stylesheets/ folder, and using:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag "jquery/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.8.11.custom" %>

in application.html.erb, but trying to be a modern man, I would rather use the new way of doing tings :-).

    I’ve fallen down to doing it the old way:

    I put the jQuery folder, containing the theme (unchanged with both CSS and images folder) in the assets/stylesheets folder, and putting in: <%= stylesheet_link_tag "jquery/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom" %> in app/views/layouts/application.html.erb file. This solution is the one with less hazel when I will update jQuery later.

    (Thanks for all suggestions on the solution. It is time to conclude.)
