Question

In order to customize the homescreen icon from my rails app on Apple touch devices, I need to serve an image out of the root.

I need something like

http://www.mywebsite.com/an_image.png

to serve up the image. I’ve deployed on Heroku, so I don’t even know if it’s possible to muck with the web server configuration. If there is, I’m all ears. If there’s a way to do it all within rails that would work too.

Does anyone have any guidance on this?

Answer 1

Try putting an_image.png in your Rails app’s public directory. There is no rule saying that all images must go in the images subfolder.
