combat the asset_helper and base_url

[eluser]theprodigy[/eluser]
well, my solution was actually read from somewhere else on this forum (I can't remember where), so I can't really take credit for it. I, myself, went looking for a solution because I didn't care for the full URL in images, js, css, etc.

If your solution works in both cases (subdirectory as well as root), then maybe your solution is better, since it is more flexible. I typically don't install CI into subdirectories because I don't like messing with htaccess files. I want to be able to copy it from one site to another and just have it work.

But, if your solution works, it works. And like I said, it may be the better one.
