CodeIgniter has nothing to do with the CSS. Your css files will be handled in the html. The example you gave there is using a relative URL, have you tried an absolute url instead?

Welcome to CodeIgniter community Stelab!

If your CSS is located anywhere inside your site root you must specify where its located in your .htaccess file

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|templates|media|robots\.txt|css)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

*Note: look at the last part of the second line of code "|css" should be where ever your css is located or if you put it in your root it should be your "|css\.css"

Also when loading your css in a view be sure to load up the url helper and run <?=base_url()?> to get your absolute path incase you change the base url in your config file you dont have to go through all your view files to change!

You could also try:

Code:

<link rel=“stylesheet” href=‘<?=base_url()?>css/style.css’ type=“text/css” media=“screen” />)

Your base url value in your application/config/config.php file.

Also , css , image and other public materials must be in your public webroot.

When you setup your view file base_url() will show your public root. Codeigniter will not access directly. Your rendered html will access it.

Is there anyway to access the CSS through CI if the CSS directory is in the 'application' directory? In my case, I have the application dir outside of the system dir, and then in Eclipse, I'm using the application dir as my project folder. When I put the CSS dir in the root, it works fine... but I'm not able to access/edit it directly in Eclipse.

It could be an htaccess issue, but I'm not versed enough to know how to change it.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hey Metula use this ->

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|templates|media|robots\.txt|css|system/application/css)

when you want to allow access to a folder or file simply add another " | " and then type your directory in. If your trying to allow access to a file escape the dot with a backslash.

perfect... thanks!

Warning , it is not a good habit to let system and apllication directories be accessible from public.

This is a securtiy warning.
