I have some image files under
/app
/uploads
/images/
111.jpg
/public
/images
.
.
How can I user image_tag to display the images under
/uploads/images/…?
Any hints?

Hi Jochen,
you can create symlink in public dir that would point to uploads.

But the files must be protected…when I create a syslink everyone
is able to access them! Right?

Only logged in users are able to view the files.
When I store the images under /public/images/111.jpg
everyone is able to view the images.
But I thing I got a soultion:
send_file RAILS_ROOT +
“/downloads/#{params[:galery_id]}/#{params[:filename]}”, :type =>
“image/jpeg”, :disposition => ‘inline’

beware that send_file keep files in memory until they are downloaded, so
that means you could get in trouble with big files or many downloads at
time.

You can also use the X-Sendfile header to send non-publicly accessible
files through the web server (providing that it supports this header),
without tying up your rails process. You can read more about it here:

or create own x-send_file method that would create symlink with unique
name and redirect logged user to it. Clear can be done with cronjob.
