using helpers outside the systems folder

I like this idea. Thanks.

I was using a different approach, but I think I will change for this approach. Before, I was using a <a href="&lt;?php echo site_url() ?&gt;ajax.php" id="ajax"> in the view and then in the javascript file (jQuery) I did something like this: $('ajax').attr('href') to retrieve the ajax function to use.


[quote author="inparo" date="1220339580"]I usually have a general javascript view that defines an object literal with a few constants. Just put that in front of all your other scripts.

Code:

</script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
        var CI = {
            'base_url': '<?php echo site_url(); ?>/',
            'blab': '<?php echo $something_my_js_needs; ?>'
        };
    //-->
</script>

Then, to call a url:

Code:

var url = CI.base_url + 'some/url/goes/here';
