I would like to add an image in my template for my ruby on rails project where i currenly have the code <img src="../../../public/images/rss.jpg" alt="rss feed" /> in a the layout stores.html.erb file however this doesn't seem to load as it looks like its missing a route which i'm not sure what its supposed to be.

Any ideas please?

It's working for me:

<%= image_tag( root_url + "images/rss.jpg", size: "50x50", :alt => "rss feed") -%>

simple just use the img tag helper. Rails knows to look in the images folder in the asset pipeline, you can use it like this

<%= image_tag "image.jpg" %>

When using the new ruby, the image folder will go to asset folder on folder app

after placing your images in image folder, use

<%=image_tag("example_image.png", alt: "Example Image")%>

In a Ruby on Rails project by default the root of the HTML source for the server is the public directory. So your link would be:

<img src="images/rss.jpg" alt="rss feed" />

But it is best practice in a Rails project to use the built in helper:

<%= image_tag("rss.jpg", :alt => "rss feed") %>

That will create the correct image link plus if you ever add assert servers, etc it will work with those.

Anything in the public folder is accessible at the root path (/) so change your img tag to read:

<img src="/images/rss.jpg" alt="rss feed" />

If you wanted to use a rails tag, use this:

<%= image_tag("rss.jpg", :alt => "rss feed") %>
