I am using

\<% @entry = Entry.find(params[:id]) %\>  
\<%= image\_tag url\_for\_file\_column(‘entry’, ‘image’) %\>

to show image info at my view.

it will show image AND PATH TO THE IMAGE, like,  
/usr/local/my\_path\_to\_rail\_project/public/entry/entry\_id/image\_name,

How may I remove the path to the image?

Thanks.

My fault, the path comes from

\<% for column in Post.content\_columns %\>

**\<%= column.human\_name %\>:** \<%=h @post.send(column.name) %\>

Ignore my question please.
