Relative stylesheet and javascript links.

[Jake]

Perhaps this isn't a Serve question, I really don't know. I'm new to
the world of Rails. Anyway. I have a site that works great using the
Serve server but when exported the CSS and JavaScript links contain
'/' at the beginning. The client won't be running these files from the
web root so I need a way to remove that '/' prefix so the HTML will
treat it as relative. I'm using stylesheet_link_tag and
javascript_include_tag to generate the HTML. Is there a config or
something I set to have these generate relative links?

Thanks,

Jake

Hi Jake,

You could do something like this (if using erb):

<% @base_url = "http://myproductionurl.com/my_production_directory/" %> 

<% @base_url = "/" if ENV['RACK_ENV'] == "development" %>

<base href="<%= @base_url %>" />

<link href="stylesheets/screen.css" media="screen, projection" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Oh, that looks like a good workaround. Thanks for the advice.

Can you do the same with haml?

[Jess Brown]

I wouldn't see why not.  You'd just need to convert the erb tags to haml...something like this:

- @base_url = "http://myproductionurl.com/my_production_directory/"

- @base_url = "/" if ENV['RACK_ENV'] == "development"

%base{:href => @base_url}

%link{:href => "stylesheets/screen.css", :media => "screen, projection", :rel => "stylesheet", :type => "text/css"}
