Question

I’ve got a js.erb file in a rails 3.2 application that uses a url helper to fill in the url field on a jquery $.ajax call. It works fine when I use the path_to_method_url/path on my local machine correctly pointing to localhost:3000/path_to_method. When I put it in our staging environment that has a sub uri it points to example-staging.com/path_to_method instead of example-staging.com/sub-uri/path_to_method. Anyone know how to get the url helpers in assets to respect the sub-uri?

Answer 1

Try override the default_url_options in your application_controller.rb

def default_url_options(options = {})
  {:suburi => get_sub_uri}
end
