image_path(source) public

Returns path to an image asset. Example:

The src can be supplied as a…

full path, like "/my_images/image.gif"
file name, like "rss.gif", that gets expanded to "/images/rss.gif"
file name without extension, like "logo", that gets expanded to "/images/logo.png"

        compute_public_path(source, 'images', 'png')
      end

I would just use the path_to_image. I find that this is what works best. As it says above it can create problems.

Here is my code

Code example

def background_path(background)
  if background
    path_to_image background.file_name.normal
  else
    path_to_image "background_preview.jpg"
  end
end

def flavor_path(flavor)
  if flavor
    path_to_image flavor.file_name.normal
  else
    path_to_image("flavor_preview.jpg")
  end
end

basic but gets the job done and it does not have problem with my pre built paths which are called image_path

image_path
