If interaction with Facebook requires an absolute path to an image, and this Facebook interaction is part of his app's "domain logic," a model is perfectly appropriate place for this... To do what you're asking, you'll need to first set config.action_controller.asset_host = "http://your_assets.domain"; Then, to use image_tag or image_path, include ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper into your model (or extend some object with it). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
