Calling Slider Revolution assets through relative paths on Rails 4 App

Question

question reworked for clarity and brevity

I am trying to install the [Slider Revolution][1] plugin on my Rails 4 application and I am having trouble with dynamically created relative paths in the jquery.themepunch.revolution.js file. The javascript snippet that I've placed on the page (as per the docs) sets a parent directory via this code:

 jsFileLocation:"../../revolution/js/",

This directory tells the code in jquery.themepunch.revolution.js where to find the "extensions" folder.

But, if I use that bit of js on my page I get this error

Slider Revolution 5.0 Error !
Failure at Loading:revolution.extension.navigation.min.js on Path:extensions/

as the js is telling the browser to search HERE for the file:

http://localhost:5000/revolution/js/extensions/revolution.extension.actions.min.js

when in reality the actual location is something like:

http://localhost:5000/assets/javascripts/plugins/revolution/extensions/revolution.extension.actions.min.js

I've tried setting the js snippet to the following options:

jsFileLocation:"../../assets/",
jsFileLocation:"../../assets/javascripts/",
jsFileLocation:"/assets/",
jsFileLocation:"/assets/javascripts/plugins/revolution/",
jsFileLocation:"/assets/plugins/revolution/",

It still doesn't work.

Answer 1

Please try /assets/plugins/revolution/ as the js location. I am assuming you haven't tried it.
