CSS file is not loaded in view file - El Forum - 07-22-2009

Hello
This is my first try with CI. And I have some trouble with linking to css files. I have read a lot of the threads about this – but non of the solutions working for me. So here we go
I'm using MAMP pro and have created a virtual host "kattliv.ci", which points to the root:
- root (kattliv.ci)
- application
- config
- css
-images
(and all the other folders)
- system
In the config file, base url is set like this:
Code:
$config['base_url'] = "http://kattliv.ci/";In the view file I'm calling a css like this:
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="<?php echo base_url();?>application/css/master.css">Which in the output turns out like this:
Code:
href="http://kattliv.ci/application/css/master.css"But the css file is not loaded in the view. And if I go to that url I get a 404.
I'm using a htaccess file to remove "index.php" (the one that is in the User Guide):
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
What am I doing wrong?
Regards, Magnus

I suggest to place css folder at first level, there you'll not get an error.
http://kattliv.ci/projects/project_name/system/application/css/master.css
to
http://kattliv.ci/projects/project_name/css/master.css

You may also want to use the link_tag() function of the CI html helper, e.g.
Code:
<?php echo link_tag('css/mystyle.css'); ?>CSS file is not loaded in view file - El Forum - 07-23-2009

Thanks for your suggestions.
But it was the htaccess file that caused the problem. If I removed it the css file was loaded. Moving the css folder outside the application folder did not helped.

I think that your .hraccess file is preventing your css file from loading.
I just did a search on the forum for "RewriteCond css" and came up with the following:
Code:
rewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css)I have not tried this but it looks as though it may solve your problem.

Thanks for the tip John.
I found another htacces file in this thread: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/83332/
That solved the problem

Well, I just started
Actually I'm redoing a clients old site (with spaghetti code) on my spare time to learn CI. So if my clients will leave me alone for a week(?!) or so
