serving images from outside the public directory
===

am not a ruby programmer, have to maintain a codebase that i inherited, pardon me if this is a noob question (a quick search on SO didn't reveal much)

user uploads files to rails app, they are stored in /uploads/images instead of /public/assets/

I can get path to them that looks like /uploads/images/image01.png, how do I use that inside an image_tag in a view?
