Bootstrap Carousel not displaying properly

Question

I am trying to implement a bootstrap carousel but it is not displaying properly.

This is what my page looks like:

My page/home.html.erb is the following:

<div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
  <!-- Indicators -->
  <ol class="carousel-indicators">
    <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
    <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="1"></li>
    <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="2"></li>
  </ol>

  <!-- Wrapper for slides -->
  <div class="carousel-inner">
    <div class="item active">
      <img src="closeup.jpg" alt="Onemoretest" class="img-responsive">
      <div class="carousel-caption">
        1st photo
      </div>
    </div>
    testing what this outputs
  </div>

  <div class="carousel-inner">
    <div class="item active">
      <img src="big1.jpg" alt="onemoretest2." class="img-responsive">
      <div class="carousel-caption">
        2nd photo
      </div>
    </div>
    testing what this outputs2
  </div>

  <div class="carousel-inner">
    <div class="item active">
      <img src="big2.jpg" alt="..." class="img-responsive">
      <div class="carousel-caption">
        3rd photo
      </div>
    </div>
    testing what this outputs3
  </div>

  <!-- Controls -->
  <a class="left carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide="prev">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>
  </a>
  <a class="right carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide="next">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>
  </a>
</div>

<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">

<!-- Optional theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">

<!-- Latest compiled and minified JavaScript -->
<script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

What am I missing? I can't figure it out, really frustrating

Answer 1

The problem was that I included <div class="carousel-inner"> for each image block. When it should encapsulate all three at once. Rookie mistake.

Answer 2

ABPrime is right here. You can also use lines like the following in views to show images in Rails views.

<img src=<%= asset_path('closeup.jpg') %>/>

Given that your images are in the app/assets/images/ folder.
