Thx for the replies, Mat and Paul. I agree w Paul in this case. The model is responsible for the communication w FB as part of a cross-posting step that is part of the business logic. So, that's where I'm putting this.
And it kinda works... it *does* work as far as being able to call image_path from the model, but... Something odd is going on in that I included the line config.action_controller.asset_host = "http://your_assets.domain"; with an absolute IP addrs (domain is not established yet) in both my config/development.rb and config/production.rb files but when I run in dev mode the urls always come out like: http://localhost:3000//images/newbie.gif without the IP addrs at the front. I've rebooted rails to make sure this config is getting picked up. Any ideas why I keep getting localhost?
