Change the default folder for image_tag, javascript_include_

Rails

Hi,

I don’t want my default folder to be mysite.com/images/logo.png, but
instead mysite.com/common/images/logo.png

How can I change that? Same applies to stylesheets and javascripts.

Thanks

Don’t know if there’s an official way, but you could monkey patch some
of the methods…

Look at actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/asset_tag_helper.rb… and
override these methods:

def compute_javascript_paths(*args)
expand_javascript_sources(*args).collect { |source|
compute_public_path(source, ‘javascripts’, ‘js’, false) }
end

def compute_stylesheet_paths(*args)
expand_stylesheet_sources(*args).collect { |source|
compute_public_path(source, ‘stylesheets’, ‘css’, false) }
end

def image_path(source)
compute_public_path(source, ‘images’)
end

Hi Phil,

I know that we can set an assert server, and I think that one day I also
bumped into changing the default folder (I might be wrong), but I cannot
find that piece of information again, so I cannot confirm.

I would rather not start monkey patching for such a simple problem,
otherwise i can simply add the “absolute” path for the assets, but the
line is getting long.
