Link problem - El Forum - 08-03-2010
[eluser]Gerep[/eluser]
Hi fellas,
I'm new here and trying to develop a quotation system but I'm having a little problem.
I have the menu with links like:
Quote:<ul>
<li><a href="user">Index</a></li>
<li><a href="quotation">Quotation</a></li>
</ul>
If I got it right, the first link will call my user class and execute the index() method. When I click on it for the first time it adds the user to the url like:
Quote:http://localhost/quotation/user, when I click the second time, it will be:
Quote:http://localhost/quotation/user/userand it makes all my other links wrong, like the Quotation:
Quote:http://localhost/quotation/user/user/quotation
Am I doing the right thing with links or there is another and better way to deal with them?
Thanks in advance

If I understand what you want to do, you will need to prefix the links with base_url(). This will then insert the correct web address when executed. So the menu would look like this:
Code:
<ul>
<li><a href="<?= base_url() ?>user">Index</a></li>
<li><a href="<?= base_url() ?>quotation">Quotation</a></li>
</ul>To use base_url(), you will need to make sure the URL Helper is loaded in the controller:
Code:
$this->load->helper('url');Or, what I do is load it in the config file autoload.php:
Code:
$autoload['helper'] = array('url');Link problem - El Forum - 08-04-2010

Code:
<ul>
<li><?php echo anchor('user', 'Index');?></li>
<li><?php echo anchor('quotation', 'Quotations');?></li>
</ul>If you have short tags enabled in your CodeIgniter configuration file, you can even make it as short as:
Code:
<li><?=anchor('user', 'Index')?></li>and so on.
For more information about the URL helper and more examples, take a look at the section about the URL helper in the User Guide.
HTH!
