Rails 4 image url not working

Question

I'm working on a rails project where I need to use an image as a background on a div, but I can't seem to figure out why the full url isn't being generated. It only generates the path /blog/imageurl.png. This project uses slim, which isn't something i'm new to.

My Code

.blog-post style="background-image: url (#{post.image})"

Code that works on the same page to generate the image

= image_tag "#{post.image}"

What have I missed to get this working as a background image?

Answer 1

Try this

.blog-post style="background-image: url(#{image_url(post.image)})";

Answer 2

Since it is the string at first be sure that server serves path to images, so enter to broser path like:

http://yoursite/images/blog/imageurl.png

and make sure that the image is shewn. Next add lack part of path to the string, and add missing ; char at the at of line:

.blog-post style="background-image: url (#{ActionController::Base.helpers.asset_path("images/" + post.image)});"

Answer 3

Try this:

.blog-post{style: "background-image: url(#{image_path post.image})"}
