image_tag only retreiving the public_id of the images

Hi, 

I am new to cloudinary. I try to have it work in RoR  with carrierwave

I have set a public_id in my Uploader: 

<code>

def public_id
  dir_to_upload + Cloudinary::Utils.random_public_id + '.png'
end

private
def dir_to_upload
  baserep =  ''
  if Rails.env.development? then
    baserep = '/dev_' + Socket.gethostname
  end
  baserep + '/user_items/' + model.user_id.to_s + '/'
end

</code>

nothing fancy I just want to have the files stored in a specific folder. 

In development when I run my debug, everithing works fine for the file upload, but when I user image_tag or cl_image_tag or cloudinary_url in my view, I only get the public_id and not the full url of the image on Cloudinary servers 

ex: 

/dev_vincent-VirtualBox/user_items/1/ygzsxqh5gl1mq1p1luhp.png

Am I missing something ?

  Please note that:

  1. The public ID can't start with a slash (`/`).
  2. The public ID should exclude the extension part (e.g., `.png`).

  Changing these two worked for me when trying it.

  How do you perform the upload? Server side or client-side?
  Can you share the cl_image_tag line of code you used?

  Hi

  I finally found the problem by debugging the gem source code,

  I was passing the url of the image as first parameter instead of sending directly the property of my object 

  ie cl_image_tag(o.image.url) where I should write cl_image_tag(o.image)

  it worked then

  thanks for the precisions about the public_id I did not found these specifications in the documentation

  Thank you for the update, I'm glad it's working for you now :)

  You can have a look at the following for more information regarding the convention of the public_id:
