Hi,

I don't want my default folder to be mysite.com/images/logo.png, but instead mysite.com/common/images/logo.png

How can I change that? Same applies to stylesheets and javascripts.

Thanks

Don't know if there's an official way, but you could monkey patch some of the methods...

Look at actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/asset_tag_helper.rb... and override these methods:

def compute_javascript_paths(*args)    expand_javascript_sources(*args).collect { |source| compute_public_path(source, 'javascripts', 'js', false) } end

def compute_stylesheet_paths(*args)   expand_stylesheet_sources(*args).collect { |source| compute_public_path(source, 'stylesheets', 'css', false) } end

def image_path(source)    compute_public_path(source, 'images') end
