Compass throwing in forward slash in front of images when making sprites

compass-sass, sass, sprite

Solution

By default, compass uses absolute paths for all assets.

To change this behaviour, add this line to your config.rb:

relative_assets = true

Otherwise, you could also change the 'http_path' option to point to where your project sites on your deployment server.

Problem

I am using Compass to create sprites. The sprites are being created but the css output is pointing to the wrong place for the images directory. the output is: ``` .menu-sprite, .menu-about, .menu-art, .menu-drum, .menu-links, .menu-music, .menu-science, .menu-writing { background: url('/images/menu-sb7e36b009c.png') no-repeat; } ``` but i want it to be: ``` .menu-sprite, .menu-about, .menu-art, .menu-drum, .menu-links, .menu-music, .menu-science, .menu-writing { background: url('images/menu-sb7e36b009c.png') no-repeat; } ``` here is my confib.rb setup: ``` http_path = "/" css_dir = "." sass_dir = "sass" images_dir = "images" javascripts_dir = "js" ``` and here is how im calling the sprites in my scss file: ``` @import "compass/utilities/sprites/base"; @import "menu/*.png"; @include all-menu-sprites; ``` what am i doing wrong? How can i remove that first slash in front of images? thanks for any help.
