CSS and Images with CodeIgniter

[eluser]Amitabh Roy[/eluser]
My own approach is to have a assets directory in which there are the images , css , js directories. The assets directory is in the same level as the system directory

One way I call the css in the view is

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url();?>assets/css/main.css" type="text/css" />

so if you put the css file in "open" in the same heirarchy as the system folder, your css call would be

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url();?>main.css" type="text/css" />

The other is bit different. In some projects I have a custom config file, where I set the path of the css , js and images. So the css files is called as follows

Code:

<link href="<?php echo $this->config->item('site_css_path');?>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

and the js files are called as follows

Code:

<jstag type="text/javascript" src="&lt;?php echo $this->config->item('site_jslibs_path');?&gt;/jquery/jquery-1.5.1.min.js"></jstag>
<jstag type="text/javascript" src="&lt;?php echo $this->config->item('site_jslibs_path');?&gt;/jqueryui/jquery-ui-1.8.12.custom.min.js"></jstag >

replace jstag with script(for the javascript code block). Hope this helps :coolsmile:
