I am putting images in public/images folder, and stored the image name  
in my  
table column imageURL. When I am calling books.imageURL, no images are  
getting displayed. Do i need to configure something else?

Thanks!

how are you uploading the pictures? what is stored in imageURL? a full  
path?  
it will need to eventually look something like this

\<%= image\_tag books.imageURL %\>

either way, your problem is pretty vague as there isn’t enough  
information about what you are using / code … maybe worth posting a  
little more info

Also, including the generated html from the problem line in the rhtml  
file is usually a good diagnostic.

Thanks alot for the prompt replies. I got the solution.

Was to mention the complete path in the imageURL viz., /images/pogo.png

Thanks
