probably a simple question about routes - El Forum - 04-06-2008

I am using code igniter to create a CMS and i am trying to link to a CSS file, but i think because of the way the urls work it is looking for a controller. Maybe not i know its the right url.
The way i havethe filesystem set up is this:
<trunk>
--<fw_theme>
----<default_theme>
-----<theme.css>
--<system>
----<config>
----<controllers>
----<etc>
and the code is this
Code:
<style type="text/css">
@import '/var/www/fw/trunk/fw_theme/theme.css';
</style>that is generated dynamically but thats what it turns out to be and i think it is probably looking for the controller fw_theme. FYI i have htaccess to "hide" the index.php

This is not a URL its a Path!
Code:
/var/www/fw/trunk/fw_theme/theme.cssprobably a simple question about routes - El Forum - 04-06-2008

i understand that, but it dosent work even though it should and i thought because of the way the url works it might be taking it over. Like you can do a form action the same way, and it takes over. Why not a CSS import. SO can you answer my question, how can i import a CSS file?

Nothing takes over anything, your browser (client side) will try to prefix the domain to any incomplete URLs it finds on a page.
@import is correct for CSS, just get the URL right and it will work.

No dice, i tried using a "URL" instead of a "path" and it still didn't import, i have used relative paths for CSS before, i don't know why it isn't working. But by using a direct URL i think that codeigniter is gonna take http://<domain>/fw_themes and look for a controller called fw_themes. Am i wrong?

You say relative path and I say relative URL.
Paths to me are server side, for instance if `/var/...` is below the web root (server side path) it will not work in CSS, if `/www/` = web root then a relative URL works from there.
You might need to check .htaccess is allowing access to your CSS directory.
.htaccess will send any unknown RewriteCond to index.php

Quote:The '@import' rule allows users to import style rules from other style sheets. Any @import rules must precede all rule sets in a style sheet. The '@import' keyword must be followed by the URI of the style sheet to include. A string is also allowed; it will be interpreted as if it had url(...) around it.Does this help?
Example(s):
The following lines are equivalent in meaning and illustrate both '@import' syntaxes (one with "url()" and one with a bare string):
@import "mystyle.css";
@import url("mystyle.css");
