Hello Tamouse,
>> It sounds now like you are setting that via an AJAX call. This is correct. We are using JQuery to manage the payload. >> Where you need to look is in the controller that is responding to that AJAX call in your Rails application, >> and look how it is determining the value it will send for the picture source url. That is likely where you >> need to use asset_url (without any ERB stuff) to set that part of the JSON payload that gets returned >> to the client. I know this makes total sense, the problem is I am too new to Rails (not the case for C, C++ or Lisp) to understand :). The value for wine.picture url is coming straight from the database: +----+----------------------------------------------+------+----------------+---------------------------------------+ | id | name | year | country | picture | +----+----------------------------------------------+------+----------------+---------------------------------------+ | 1 | CHATEAU DE SAINT COSME | 2009 | France | saint_cosme.jpg | If I understand you correctly, I would need to modify the picture field in the database to read asset_url('saint_cosme.jpg') without any of the ERB stuff "<%= %>"? Or if by controller you mean rails controller in the traditional sense, I have a very simple `pages_controller.rb` that contains the following: class PagesController < ApplicationController def index end end As usual, forgive the noob, and thanks in advance!!!
