including CSS - failure :(

[eluser]Krystian[/eluser]
Hello all, I`m Kris, and I got a problem with including CSS styles into my site.
Further more if I couldn`t put css then I could not put an img file and so on and so on.
Basically, I have

Code:

$config['base_url'] = "http://127.0.0.1/KC_ciTraining/";

I also create a CSS directory i a root direcorty as above

-kc_ciTraining
-css
- style.css
-system
- application
- cache
.
.
.
.
I included my css file like this

Code:

<link ref="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>css/style.css" type="text/css" >

When I open my site it doesn`t work at all. When I look at site source I get

Code:

<link ref="stylesheet" href="http://127.0.0.1/KC_ciTraining/css/style.css" type="text/css" media="all" />

when I put css source directly into my view - works fine. Why? what should I do? Where to put css directory and css file? and finally where to put img direcory.

regards kris

Are you rewriting URLs? If so you may need to exempt the css folder from being rewritten.

Also take a look at using link_tag() (part of the HTML Helper) for this as it automagically prepends the result of base_url():

Code:

<?php echo link_tag('css/style.css'); ?>

Try to open http://127.0.0.1/KC_ciTraining/css/style.css in your browser to be sure you can even access that file.

I`m not using rewriting. When I open url as you said I got my css file on screen i webbrowser.

Ok, fine link_tag works well. Thanks.

I made literal mistake in code. Instead of "link rel" I put "link ref" wrrrr

and how to put images on webpage? also using this helper

Code:

echo img('images/picture.jpg');

and before that creating folder images in root directory??

or base_url?

You are spot on with img() Cheers and good luck.
