Artisteer templates with Ruby on Rails – Header and graphics not showing – solution

Last Updated on November 30, 2019 by Christopher G Mendla

I was creating a Ruby on Rails site and used Artisteer 4.3 to generate the template.

Even though I included the precompile directives in assets.rb, I was still not seeing the images for the header and some other images. I tried a rake assets:clobber / rake assets:precompile but that didn’t help.

The problem was that the references in style.css to images were in the form of

content:url(‘images/blockbullets.png’);

Rails.application.config.assets.compile = true                                    #for Production
Rails.application. config.assets.precompile = [‘*.js’, ‘*.css’, ‘*.css.erb’]      #for Production
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w[*.png *.jpg *.jpeg *.gif]        #for Production
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w(script.js)
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w(script.responsive.js)
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( style.css )
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( style.responsive.css )
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( style.ie7.css )
