Wow, Ara. Thanks for the thorough treatment and resolution of the problem. I checked out the website, and it is indeed working! :) (btw: It looks like you need to modify the application.css file so that your background images show up properly).
hmmm - i don't have any background images though? am i supposed to?
As for the Rails core list, I'd like to find out why compute_public_path is doing what it's doing. It seems to me, if we could eliminate that strangity, we wouldn't have to work around things as you've done.
it does seem a bit odd at first - but it really does make good sense: all the links you provide to rails' helpers simply need to be absolute wrst to your application. in otherwords a link /bar.jpg works whether your application is at the top level or if it's in a subdir like /foo/ - but you don't have to care. all links simply need to be absolute wrst the app - it's location doesn't matter. at least that is my understanding... that being the case the filecolumn plugin definitely need the patches i suggested or some other type of fix. cheers. -a -- =============================================================================== | ara [dot] t [dot] howard [at] noaa [dot] gov | all happiness comes from the desire for others to be happy. all misery | comes from the desire for oneself to be happy. | -- bodhicaryavatara =============================================================================== _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
