Yep, that should work fine. > Now what about the whole > thing of 3rd party stuff going into vendor/assets ? My thought on this was, jquery-ui itself is a 3rd-party vendor asset. However, custom themes that I generate are more questionable; I chose to put those under my app directory instead of vendor. However, you should be able to make it work either way. > How do you deal with 3rd party css that look for ../images/whatever.png > in background-image? Those are all failing as well. Remember that when your assets are compiled, the javascripts, images, and stylesheets folders in your app all get dumped into a single /public/assets folder. If you have a subfolder in one of those, like images/images, then the subfolder will get added to your assets folder. Armed with that knowledge, I've found you can usually figure out how to arrange your assets in order to get those images picked up ok. > > Thanks for the suggestion on throwing the images folder into the other > images folder. I'll try that. Not too harsh of a compromise :) I only have it that way because the theme css is coding paths to images as "images/...", so if I want to avoid modifying code they need to go in a subfolder like that. As another approach, if you're using say fancybox, there is a gem at https://github.com/hecticjeff/fancybox-rails that you could use; this gem makes some changes in the fancybox script in order to play nice with the asset pipeline, but it's not something that's likely to change often and thus I use it to keep my app's asset directories a little cleaner.
