Ruby on-Rails Solutions
Solution 1 - Ruby on-Rails
Anything in the public folder is accessible at the root path (/) so change your img tag to read:
<img src="/images/rss.jpg" alt="rss feed" />
If you wanted to use a rails tag, use this:
<%= image_tag("rss.jpg", :alt => "rss feed") %>
Solution 2 - Ruby on-Rails
In a Ruby on Rails project by default the root of the HTML source for the server is the public directory. So your link would be:
<img src="images/rss.jpg" alt="rss feed" />
But it is best practice in a Rails project to use the built in helper:
<%= image_tag("rss.jpg", :alt => "rss feed") %>
That will create the correct image link plus if you ever add assert servers, etc it will work with those.
Solution 3 - Ruby on-Rails
When using the new ruby, the image folder will go to asset folder on folder app
after placing your images in image folder, use
<%=image_tag("example_image.png", alt: "Example Image")%>
Solution 4 - Ruby on-Rails
simple just use the img tag helper. Rails knows to look in the images folder in the asset pipeline, you can use it like this
<%= image_tag "image.jpg" %>
Solution 5 - Ruby on-Rails
It's working for me:
<%= image_tag( root_url + "images/rss.jpg", size: "50x50", :alt => "rss feed") -%>

image_tag is the best way to do the job friend
