Hello, I have a designed template *public/test/show.html* with following sample html code. There is a css file and images in the mentioned directory. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/> <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all"/> </head> <body> <div class="title">Post: *{post_name}*</div> </body> </html> I have a posts controller and need to render this template from posts#show without changing anything under *public/test *directory. And, replace *{post_name}* by post name. I've tried that in many ways to do that but couldn't. Specially, the css and images path not working any way. It's always looking under http://localhost:3000/posts/{....} I will be pleased if anyone can help me regarding this. Thanks in advance for your help.

I suggest you work right through a good tutorial such as railstutorial.org (which is free to use online) so that you will understand the basics of rails. Colin

As Colin Law stated you are not following the Rules of Rails. Why do you want to put a template in the public folder and create a headache for yourself. I suggest doing it the Rails way. Put your templates in /view/controller/show.html.erb Your basic controller actions CRUD, have corresponding views(template)

It's always looking underhttp://localhost:3000/posts/{....} > Your CSS link is relative (doesn't begin with a / ) so the browser will think the path for it is /posts/test/css/style.css. Making the css and any asset links absolute will fix this. You could if you really didn't want to change the file, add a route for that path and render the css file in response but that seems a bit over the top. Alternatively rewrite any of those relative links in the file before you send the response (I'd recommend using nokogiri to do this rather than tearing apart the HTML with regular expressions). I'm also sure why this isn't a regular erb/haml template though instead of inventing your own templating scheme. Fred
