[Rails] Multiple controller with associated view calling Application Helper to get image path... not working

SORRY about the previous.... How does one edit here after POST?


Working with Rails 3.0

From numerous controllers with associated views, I need to display images.

In the views to retrieve an images I have:

 <img src="<%= get_image_path(@object.image_file_name) %> />

I have also used the Rails <img src counterpart...

get_image_path is defined in the Application helper:

module ApplicationHelper
  def get_image_path(sought_image_file_name)

    return_string = ''
    unless sought_image_file_name.blank?    ## although I do testing for blank?  image_file_name in the erb view
      return_string = "#{Rails.application.root}/public/images/item_images/" + sought_image_file_name
      ### Have tried return_string "../public and "./public and these have not worked
    end
    return return_string
  end
...

But I keep getting the error:

Started GET "/home/echomarket/echomarket.org/public/images/item_images/zv37bNYgL25LisYvnGfGkKMndfm7ZD_Chrysanthemum.jpg" for ...

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/home/echomarket/echomarket.org/public/images/item_images/zv37bNYgL25LisYvnGfGkKMndfm7ZD_Chrysanthemum.jpg"):

The file definitely exists in that path, per FIleZilla and Putty

I do not understand the tie between routes.rb and multiple controllers....

Thanks,

Liz
