CI -index.php?

[eluser]Yan Heinz[/eluser]
Thank you very much!

I know this is a tired old subject for the experts, and I'm sorry... I'm a little over my head, I'm a media designer/programmer more than a web tech.
Anyway, when I do the above (hoping to fix an issue with pagination number being taken as controller names by CI... ) all my styling and images dissappear. While my site is semantically correct and still works, I would prefer to have styling and images. hehe

so... I don't even know enough about what is going on to know what question to ask. Does anyone have any pointers on where I start looking for a solution to this?

Thanks all, this is one of the most helpful and friendly forums I have been on.

An educated guess would be the relationship to you're css/images
You need to give it the absolute path to css using base_url() like so

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?=base_url()?>css/reset.css" media="screen" type="text/css" />

That function is in the URL helper, so be sure to autoload that

[eluser]unsub[/eluser]
ah, I wish...
here's what's being rendered:

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.unsub.ca/system/assets/css/3col_fullheight.css" />

...which is correct.
I wrote a simple assets class myself which is using urls set in the config file.

Code:

//$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/unsub_inc/";
$config['base_url']="http://www.unsub.ca/";

/*
* Assets Folder Location
*
* url to the assets folder (~/system/assets/) which contains
* css, libraries, etc. Maybe it will work, but probably not... :(
*/
$config['unsub_asset_folder']       = $config['base_url'].'system/assets/';
$config['unsub_images']             = $config['unsub_asset_folder'].'images/';
$config['css_path']                 = $config['unsub_asset_folder'].'css/';
$config['js_path']                     = $config['unsub_asset_folder'].'tools/javascript/';
/*

...and used in the controllers like so:

Code:

$data['header_data']['headers'] = array(
   $this->assets->load_css("3col_fullheight.css","css"),            
   $this->assets->load_css("ui.all.css","tools/javascript/jquery/themes/ui-darkness"),
   $this->assets->load_js("jquery-1.3.2.min.js","jquery"),
   $this->assets->load_js("ui.core.js","jquery/ui"),
   $this->assets->load_js("ui.accordion.js","jquery/ui"),
   $this->assets->load_js("tickerSlide.js"),
   $this->assets->load_js("bgiframe.js","jquery/external/bgiframe")
);

So the weird thing is that it's getting the locations of all my css and js files correct, and yet they still aren't working.

I am starting to think that this is yet another htaccess issue from a newbie

Would you mind if I posted it, and you could maybe point out any glaring errors?

hi
I'm just going to post my .htaccess file in hopes that someone can tell me if I've made an obvious error - these files baffle me, I'm afraid...

Code:

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

<Limit GET HEAD POST>
order allow,deny
--here's where I have all the stuff I want to block, fuspy, etc., and some ips
allow from all
</LIMIT>

<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>

AuthName www.unsub.ca
AuthUserFile /home/unsub/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/unsub/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ http://www.unsub.ca [R,NC]

so, the last rule, just above here, I think was put there by my CPanel settings, and the AuthName etc., i don't know... that was there already. What I have added is just the last bit, aside from the last rule like I mentioned.
I could sure use a little guidance. I'm slowly getting the hang of .htaccess, but I have yet to get the 'aha' moment where it starts to make real sense to me.

Thanks for any help I can get.
cheers

Daniel is our resident htaccess expert, but I'll give it a go anyway
I think you need to add css to the rewrite condition

Code:

// From this
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
// to this
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css)

Without that, I think it would try to route any css files through the index.php file

[eluser]dijon[/eluser]

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Basically, if the requested file is not an actual file or directory, it replaces with /index.php/

This works a lot better for me than manually specifying css, etc. etc.

[eluser]Dam1an[/eluser]
I seem to have both in mine

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|license.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

And that was given to me by the Guru, and has never failed me yet

[eluser]dijon[/eluser]
any idea what the [L, QSA] does for you rather than the [L] in mine?

[eluser]Dam1an[/eluser]
Taken from here

[QSA] = Query String Append, should be used to prevent all redirects from going to your default controller, which happens on some server configurations.
