ok, so I'm doing an upgrade on a rails 2.3.2 app to 3.1, and I've noticed a lot of roadblocks with the asset pipeline. Luckily I've figured them all out, but I'm wondering how everyone else is solving these issues.
Let's take a newly generated rails 3.1 app. I have a grid of squares I want to click on, and have a modal window popup. I can //= require jquery-ui in my app/assets/javascripts/application.js and that will add in my model() method, but I can't require the jquery-ui in my application.css. It looks like no themes are included. (unless I'm missing something). I download a theme I would like to use, and in the stylesheets folder, there's a jquery-ui.css and an images folder. I added these into the vendor/assets/stylesheets folder, and in my app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss file I require jquery-ui, and Sprockets can't find it. I moved this file and it's images folder to the app/assets/stylesheets folder. Sprockets can now find the stylesheet, but won't load any of the images. The default background-image: url() in this file is looking for images/whatever.png). moving those images to the app/assets/images folder doesn't work either. I had to tack on .scss to the file, and then global find an replace the background url stuff with image-url(whatever.png), and now it all works. IMO, 3rd party things should not be edited, or altered. Although, I've been known to edit 3rd party stuff to make it fit, I just feel it's bad practice. So, now I would like to know in situations like this, how are other Rails developers handling this? Is there something I'm missing that would have made this easier? Maybe a config option or something.... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
