How to change default path for images to look for

By default, rails is looking for images to "public/images" folder.

But it is not suiteable for me, since i have all the multimedia stuff in "public/data/:model/:id" folders.

How do i force rails to look into this folder.

I don't need obligatory such a pattern, that i mentioned above. The only thing, i need, is just to change "public/images" path to "public/data", so, the rails should look to "data" folder, instead of "images".

I don't need to use "paperclip" plugin, because my models holding the pure HTML content (with clean and simple structure, that will not change in the future), that has "img" tags.

How can it be done ?

You you mean the image_tag helper is looking by default there? That's only the case if you only specify a relative path. Putting the full path in gets what you want I believe.

<%= image_tag '/data/model/1'

would generate

<img src="/data/model/1.png">
