How to upload image to assets? Can I do it without adding paperclip?

Question

From what I read it seems I need a gem, like paperclip to upload my favicon image.

In application.html.erb I have:

<link href="favicon.ico" rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" />

Then under assets/images I created the file: favicon.ico

I just don't know what to put in the file to make the favicon work. Adding paperclip seems like a lot of work for one 16 pixel image.

Answer 1

You don't need any gem for that... just add you favicon to the assets folder and add the following line to the application layout:

<%= favicon_link_tag 'favicon.ico' %>
