I am not sure what you are trying to do exactly but I think your whole
approach is probably wrong, it is certainly not conventional. I
suggest you work right through a good tutorial such as
railstutorial.org (which is free to use online) so that you will
understand the basics of rails.

As Colin Law stated you are not following the Rules of Rails. Why do you want to put a template in the public folder and create a headache for yourself. I suggest doing it the Rails way. Put your templates in

Your basic controller actions CRUD, have corresponding views(template)

I have a posts controller and need to render this template from posts#show without changing anything under{post_name}by post name.
I've tried that in many ways to do that but couldn't. Specially, the css and images path not working any way. It's always looking under http://localhost:3000/posts/{....}
I will be pleased if anyone can help me regarding this. Thanks in advance for your help.

Your CSS link is relative (doesn't begin with a / ) so the browser

will think the path for it is /posts/test/css/style.css.
Making the css and any asset links absolute will fix this. You could
if you really didn't want to change the file, add a route for that
path and render the css file in response but that seems a bit over the
top. Alternatively rewrite any of those relative links in the file
before you send the response (I'd recommend using nokogiri to do this
rather than tearing apart the HTML with regular expressions). I'm also
sure why this isn't a regular erb/haml template though instead of
inventing your own templating scheme.
