Static views contents on dynamic routes

Question

Static views contents on dynamic routes

How come the image file in my classroom.ejs is not showing if I use this

app.configure(function() { 
   //app.use('/room1',express.static(__dirname+'/public')); 
   app.use(express.static(__dirname+'/public'));
   app.set('views', __dirname + '/public'); 
});

app.get('/room1/:nickname', function(req, res){ 
   res.render('classroom.ejs', {title: req.params.nickname});
});

If I uncomment the app.use('/room1',express.static(__dirname+'/public'));

It works. I need the static files to pull from /public regardless of the route and given the fact that its on top, it should have top priority. I'm using Express 3.0.x

Can you try this:

var path = require('path');
...
app.use(app.router);
app.use('/', express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
