base_url() in error_pages

[eluser]Skuja[/eluser]
Hi, i am trying to customize error pages a bit... but i can't find a way to call base_url() function, which is necessary for path of images. Has anybody found a CI hack to acomplish this?

I'm sure it's possible, but it should be avoided. Your error pages should be viewable without any of the core libraries/helpers being loaded.

Why not write your own helper that you can just include/require? The helper file can load the configuration itself.

Didn't get this. Whats the purpose of writing my own helpers, if i am not allowed to load them in error pages.

All i want to do is to access my base url variable without redefining it in multiple places.

You can do whatever you want from within your error page using includes and requires. Just avoid the assumption that the CI Super Object is fully instantiated.
