Base Url is getting changed automatically

[eluser]Ariful H Bhuiyan[/eluser]
Hi all

I am new in CodeIgniter and started to loving it. Trying to develop my test application but got some problem at beginning.

From view class, when I try to call any function in Controller class, my base url get changed automatically. Result is my css file become missing to app.

Example:
when I click on a button or link which is linked to a controller function, base url (http://localhost/greenimages) become (http://localhost/greenimages/contributor) where contributor is name of my controller.

Please help me to understand what is the problem and what is the solution with this.

Thanks
Ariful

Hello,

You might like to take a read here Codeigniter URLs.

If your website is, www.greenimages.com and you click on the 'contributor' link, it's just like opening a standard link that takes you to www.greenimages.com/contributor.php.

The link above will explain it better though.

Good luck

Thanks for answer but thats not what is the problem.

From my home page i can go easily to my Contributor page and than the url is greenimages.com/contributor
Than when I try to register a user, i enter User ID, Email, Password in text box and when click Submmit button (its inside a form tag) than the form action call the "contributor/register" function. the register() call a register() from model and data get saved in database. but than when i hover my mouse on Home link, it show the link is localhost/greenmages/contributor where Home was suppose to show localhost/greenimages.

In my config file config['base_url'] is set to 'http://localhost/greenimages'

I think I explained the situation in more details now.

Can you show use the code for where your links are?

Controller: Contributor

Code:

class Contributor extends CI_Controller{
    //put your code here
    public function  __construct() {
        parent:: __construct();

       /* $data['title']='Contributor';
        $data['keywords']='Photo Contributor, Stock Photographer';
        $data['description']='List of Photo Contributor in GREEN Images';
        $this->load->view('view_contributor',$data);
    */
        
    }//end construct

    public function index(){
        $data['title']='Contributor';
        $data['keywords']='Photo Contributor, Stock Photographer';
        $data['description']='List of Photo Contributor in GREEN Images';
        $this->load->view('view_contributor',$data);
    }//end index

    public function Registration(){

        $this->load->model('module_contributor','Contributor');
        $this->Contributor->Register();
        
        $this->Thanks();

    }//end Register

    public function Thanks()
    {
        $data['title']='Thanks';
        $data['keywords']='';
        $data['description']='';
        $this->load->view('Thanks.php', $data);
    }

} //end class Contributor
?>

View: From where I am clicking the submit button

Code:

<?php echo form_open("contributor/registration"); ?>
                <table border="0" width="100%">
                    <tr>
                        <td class="righttext"><label id="contributorID">User ID&nbsp;</label></td>
                        <td>&lt;input type="textbox" name="contributorID" value="&lt;?php echo set_value('contributorID'); ?&gt;"/&gt;&lt;/td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td class="righttext"><label id="email">Email&nbsp;</label></td>
                        <td>&lt;input type="textbox" name="contributorEmail" value="&lt;?php echo set_value('contributorEmail'); ?&gt;" /&gt;&lt;/td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td class="righttext"><label id="password">Password&nbsp;</label></td>
                        <td>&lt;input type="password" name="contributorPassword" value="&lt;?php echo set_value('contributorPassword'); ?&gt;" /&gt;&lt;/td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td class="righttext"><label id="cpassword">Confirm Password&nbsp;</label></td>
                        <td>&lt;input type="cpassword" name="cpassword"/&gt;&lt;/td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td class="righttext"><label id="Register">&nbsp;</label></td>
                        <td>&lt;input type="Submit" class="button" value="Register" name="Register"/&gt;&lt;/td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
            &lt;?php echo form_close(); ?&gt;

Hard to guess what you are doing. You need to post actual code.

[eluser]LifeSteala[/eluser]
Sorry, I'm looking for your view code that shows me how you marked up your navigation links not the code showing your form. Can you re-supply your full view code, maybe?

[eluser]Ariful H Bhuiyan[/eluser]
Sure.. This code is from my header.php file

Code:

<?php
/*
* To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
* and open the template in the editor.
*/
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /&gt;
&lt;link type="text/css" href=&lt;?php base_url()?&gt;"css/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet"/&gt;
&lt;link type="text/css" href=&lt;?php base_url()?&gt;"css/style.css" rel="stylesheet"/&gt;&lt;!--for Nivo Slider--&gt;
&lt;link type="text/css" href=&lt;?php base_url()?&gt;"css/nivo-slider.css" rel="stylesheet"/&gt;&lt;!--for Nivo Slider--&gt;
&lt;meta name="keywords" content=&lt;?php echo $keywords;?&gt; &gt; &lt;/meta&gt;
&lt;meta name="description" content=&lt;?php echo $description;?&gt; &gt; &lt;/meta&gt;
&lt;title&gt;&lt;?php echo $title; ?&gt; - GREEN Images&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

Where is your navigation links Ariful?

[eluser]CroNiX[/eluser]
[quote author="Ariful H Bhuiyan" date="1330376653"]... but than when i hover my mouse on Home link, it show the link is localhost/greenmages/contributor where Home was suppose to show localhost/greenimages.

The code that creates the links you mention here is what we need to see, since that is what is giving you the problem...

I'm guessing you are using a relative path, which would cause the problem you describe.
