Where should I put my images, css and js files inCodeIgniter? - El Forum - 05-25-2010

Hi,
I have a problem accessing my resources (images, js, css) in CodeIgniter.
I made 3 folders /css /js and /images in the CI root dir (where index.php
and .htaccess are located) but I get CI error not found each time I try to reach
my files (css, images and js files) in a web browser.
To solve the problem, I have made a subdomain I called /assets and put in
/css /js and /images and their content and when going to http://assets.domain.com/css/style.css it's not reachable until I remove the .htaccess file.
Can you help me to solve my problem? Here is the .htaccess content:
Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css|docs|scripts|system)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]Thank you,
Stephane

I tend to structure my CI projects like this (with an assets/css folder in the root directory) and reference everything like this:
Code:
<img src="<?php echo base_url(); ?>assets/img/logo.jpg" />Where should I put my images, css and js files inCodeIgniter? - El Forum - 05-25-2010

Your rewrite condition doesn't exclude js and images, so requests for both will be rewritten to index.php.
And I don't think it's a good idea to exclude the entire system directory as well, you don't want those files internet accessable.

So, what should I do ?

Like matt said, I think most people place them off the root, so it's parallel with the systems folder. I happen to just have them in the root, so base_url() . 'img/image.jpg'. In this case, put the following in your .htaccess and avoid itemizing the folders you have.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

I'm agreeing with Matt and Frist. I have a folder on the same level as application and system called assets. Underneath assets are subfolders for js, css, and images.

Same here. My .htaccess is very similar to Frist's.
With the folder at the root, you could hardcode HTML like this:
Code:
<a href="/assets/images/...">To be more flexible it's advisable to do things like:
Code:
<?php echo anchor('assets/images/...', 'Link Text'); ?>If you can't get at your files after repairing your .htaccess file you may want to double check permissions too.
