Rails 4: site_title_image

[shlima]

Hello.

As we know, Rails 4 has no longer generates no-digest versions of assets. So how can I use config.site_title_image with assets pipeline?

Thanks.

It looks like you have options: [1] & [2].

As far as what the suggested workflow should be for Active Admin, I'm open to suggestions.

@shlima how are you assigning config.site_title_image? I'm away from computer but I'm pretty sure the digests are added if you use a relative path:

Ie. for app/assets/images/logo.png, try
config.site_title_image = "logo.png"

[shlima]

@igorbernstein thanks, this works. I was confused because of comment line contains:

  # Set an optional image to be displayed for the header
  # instead of a string (overrides :site_title)
  # config.site_title_image = "/images/logo.png"

So the config.site_title_image = 'logo.png' variant works fo me.

I'm guessing thats a carry over from pre-asset pipeline days.
The generator template should be updated, and maybe the doc can be made more explicit

I just updated the initializer, but I'm not sure how the docs could be made more clear

[igorbernstein]

Documentation is definitely not a skill I possess, but how about something like:

Every page has what's called the site title on the left side of the menu bar. If you want, you can customize it. The site_title_image setting can either be an absolute or relative path

config.site_title       = "My Admin Site"

# use /assets/site_image-DIGEST.png
config.site_title_link  = "site_image.png"

# use /images/site_image.png
config.site_title_image = "/images/site_image.png"

[seanlinsley]

Will the scoped version actually work, though?

[igorbernstein]

you'd use the absolute version if you wanted to reference an image in /public, now that I think about it, you'll never wanna do that.

maybe this?

Every page has what's called the site title on the left side of the menu bar. If you want, you can customize it. The site_title_image setting can either be an absolute or relative path

config.site_title       = "My Admin Site"

# use /assets/site_image-DIGEST.png
config.site_title_link  = "site_image.png"

# use external image
config.site_title_image = "http://www.google.com/images/logos/google_logo_41.png"
