Image not showing up

[StormyRamsey]

Hello,

When I add an image url to a new or edit a post it does not show up. I can see the border for the image and the option to save it to Pinterest, but I cannot see the image itself. https://github.com/StormyRamsey/project_2_mommy_blog/tree/master/jeffs_mom

Your code in the Article controller app/controllers/articles_controller.rb and show view app/views/articles/show.html.erb look correct, perhaps try retrieving the urls in the rails console rails c to make sure they are being stored in the articles.

You also mentioned something about a "save to Pinterest" option, but I don't see anything in your repo having to do with Pinterest. I'm guessing that you have some Chrome Extensions installed in your browser that could be breaking the display of images for you.

I recommend that you disable all of your Chrome Extensions while working on your assignments, as they can cause some serious issues like this. Go to this url in your Chrome browser: chrome://extensions/ and un-check the enabled checkbox for everything you see.

If this problem is solved, please close the issue.

I made the changes to my Chrome settings, dropped, created and migrated my db and re-entered a new post, but the image is still not showing up.

Sorry about that replying from my phone and it went haywire.

Your new and edit forms need to be using text_field instead of file_field (also, make sure that it is linked to :img_url instead of :image. https://github.com/StormyRamsey/project_2_mommy_blog/blob/master/jeffs_mom/app/views/articles/new.html.erb#L23

[AndyWhitley]

Should be <%= f.text_field :img_url %>

Does that fix the problem?

[StormyRamsey]

Yup, fix it. Thank you very much.
