I'm using Ruby on Rails (Edge, the development version), and Ruby rvm 1.9.2.
application.js
is as follows.
//= require jquery
//= require jquery-ui
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require_tree
Where is the right place in Ruby on Rails 3.1 to put the jQuery UI theme?
According to Autocomplete fields in Ruby on Rails 3.1 with jQuery UI I should put a jQuery UI theme in vendor/assets/stylesheets folder. That sounds like a smart place to have it, but I don't get it to work :-(.
I managed to get the CSS loaded by putting it in the assets/stylesheets folder, but the images I havn't managed to get loaded.
I could of course be using the old way with just putting the theme in the public/stylesheets/ folder, and using:
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "jquery/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.8.11.custom" %>
in application.html.erb, but trying to be a modern man, I would rather use the new way of doing tings :-).

Now that we have Ruby on Rails 3.1.0, this is what worked for me:
This directly includes the jQuery UI provided by the

gem. But the gem does not provide the theme files. For these, I added atheme
directory undervendor/assets/stylesheets
, containing:jquery.ui.theme.css
file,images
directory.Be sure to keep the theme's
images
directory with the CSS file! Do not put the image files undervendor/assets/images
, or they won't be found by jQuery (which search them under/assets/images
).Finally, changed the
app/assets/stylesheets/application.css
file to:
