Relative link to CSS

A little tip for your develpment on localhost and online.. You dont have to set anything after going live when you set your base_url in config like this:

Code:

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'localhost')
{
    $config['base_url']    = "http://localhost/yourproject/";
}
else
{
    $config['base_url']    = "http://www.yourrealdomain.com/";
}

I myself dont want to use full urls everywhere because it creates http request on every load and for page with lots of images, styles, js etc. it will slow down the site. So if you want to use absolute url path on the server, you can modify your config like this:

Code:

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'localhost')
{
    $config['base_url']    = "http://localhost/yourproject/";
    define('ABS_URL','/yourproject/');
}
else
{
    $config['base_url']    = "http://www.yourrealdomain.com/";
    define('ABS_URL','/');
}

And as before mentioned, move your css and other assets outside of codeigniter directory. Much cleaner that way.

So for example if you've copied your master.css to "styles" folder in your project root, you could point your css like this:

Code:

<link href="<?php echo ABS_URL ?>styles/master.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />;

And because we setup config.php that way, that would work localhost and online no problemo
