Hey gang,

I have a model Image, generated through scaffold\_resource. But when I  
use image\_tag(foo) in my views, I get the following error:

image\_url failed to generate from {:action=\>“show”, :id=\>“foo”,  
:controller=\>“images”}, expected: {:action=\>“show”,  
:controller=\>“images”}, diff: {:id=\>“foo”}

Looks like image\_tag clashes with image\_path somewhere, somehow…  
Obviously, I want to use the image\_tag helper, not some named route  
here. Any ideas how I can keep my model named Image, and still use the  
image\_tag helper?

thanks!

there has been a recent update to edge which removes this conflict. I  
have been able to rename my asset model to image and it works well.
