[Rails] Revision: Background image contained in stylesheet

2009-04-15 Thread Rob Blimploid

I realized that I should have included a bit more information in my
previous post, so here's the revision.

application.html.erb is correctly finding the stylesheet for my project
via %= stylesheet_link_tag 'style1' %.  My webpages reflect the
styling properly with a few exceptions .. the most notable being some
.jpg images defined for background do not display at all.  I have those
images in public/images.

The following is the stylesheet code containing the reference to the
image.

#navigation {
  width: 180px;
  height: 484px;
  background: #7da5a8 url(nav-bg.jpg) no-repeat;
}

I tried the absolute path to the image above per: background: #7da5a8
url(C:\InstantRails\rails_apps\getdowninthevalley\public\images\nav-bg.jpg)
no-repeat; but that didn't work either

This worked fine until I retrofitted the webpages into the Rails
framework (which I really like, but which I'm relative new to).

If anyone knows the solution, I would really appreciate it ... thanks in
advance!

 Your path needs to specify the full relative path.
 
 url(/images/nav-bg.jpg)
 
 Looks like you're missing 'images/'

Thanks for the reply .. I changed it to:  url(../images/nav-bg.jpg) and
it now works beautifully.  Thanks for taking the time to address this
problem !

[Rails] Have simple sidebar code snippet for application.html.erb?

2009-04-15 Thread Rob Blimploid

Googled forever trying to find a good example of how to do a simple
sidebar (code snippet) in application.html.erb.  I've found bits and
pieces, but I need the whole piece of meat.

Is anyone willing to share a complete example code snippet for doing a
sidebar? I'm thinking it may involve some new show code in the
controller as well?

Your help will be most appreciated!

Thanks rubio
