How to use images in NimblePublisher posts
As of this writing I am using Phoenix and NimblePublisher to write these posts. To load images in these posts I use image tags that point to this path in my application directory:
my_app_name/assets/static/images/blog/:year/:month/:image_file.
And the image tag in the *.md posts will use the relative path to the image file and that looks like:
<image src="/images/blog/my_picture.png" alt="my_picture" />.
Or using markdown:
Explicit example in a post:
%{
title: "How to add post scheduling to NimblePublisher",
description: "Learn how to schedule posts using NimblePublisher",
tags: ~w(elixir Phoenix CMS),
}
---
<image src="/images/blog/my_picture.png" alt="my_picture" />It took me some time to get the routing right for images when I was building this CMS. I hope you found this to be useful.
