Rails: How to set a background image in rails from css?
In your CSS:
background-image: url(background.jpg);or
background-image: url(/assets/background.jpg);In environments/production.rb:
# Disable Rails's static asset server (Apache or nginx will already do this) config.serve_static_assets = false# Compress JavaScripts and CSS config.assets.compress = true# Don't fallback to assets pipeline if a precompiled asset is missed config.assets.compile = false# Generate digests for assets URLs config.assets.digest = true
For sass (scss) this code works with the following image path
app/assets/images/pictureTitle.png
body { background-image: image-url('pictureTitle.png'); }You might also need to restart your rails server.
If you have the image in your public directory like public/bg.jpg
background-image: url('/bg.jpg')If you have image in app/assets/images/bg.jpg
background-image: url('/assets/bg.jpg')
