I would like to add an image in my template for my ruby on rails project where i currenly have the code <img src="../../../public/images/rss.jpg" alt="rss feed" /> in a the layout stores.html.erb file however this doesn't seem to load as it looks like its missing a route which i'm not sure what its supposed to be.
Any ideas please?

A layout defines the surroundings of an HTML page. It's the place to define a common look and feel of your final output. Layout files reside in app/views/layouts. The process involves defining a layout template and then letting the controller know that it exists and to use it.
Rails provides us great functionality for managing layouts in a web application. The layouts removes code duplication in view layer. You are able to slice all your application pages to blocks such as header, footer, sidebar, body and etc.
By default, if you use the :text option, the text is rendered without using the current layout. If you want Rails to put the text into the current layout, you need to add the layout: true option.
Anything in the public folder is accessible at the root path (/) so change your img tag to read:
<img src="/images/rss.jpg" alt="rss feed" /> If you wanted to use a rails tag, use this:
<%= image_tag("rss.jpg", :alt => "rss feed") %> In a Ruby on Rails project by default the root of the HTML source for the server is the public directory. So your link would be:
<img src="images/rss.jpg" alt="rss feed" /> But it is best practice in a Rails project to use the built in helper:
<%= image_tag("rss.jpg", :alt => "rss feed") %> That will create the correct image link plus if you ever add assert servers, etc it will work with those.
