Hey!
I have a local project on CodeIgniter hosted on

Code:
localhost/

My .htaccess

Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine on

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

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L] 

</IfModule>

My css file

Code:
.temp {

    color: red;

}

My css file location

Code:
/application/views/css/mainpage.css

My Mainpage controller looks like this Smile

Code:
class Mainpage extends CI_Controller {

 public function index()

 {

                $this->load->helper('url');

                $this->load->helper('html');

                $data['content'] = 'Hey...we are on main one? really??';

                $this->load->view('maintemplate', $data);

 }

}

My maintemplate.php view file

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

    &lt;head&gt;

        &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href='&lt;?php echo base_url();?&gt;application/views/css/maintemplate.css' type="text/css" media="screen, projection" /&gt; 

    &lt;/head&gt;

    &lt;body&gt;

       <p class="temp">123</p>

    &lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

But text is not red.
1. What's wrong?
2. Is my style of placing css files good?

When I put JS folder in the same folder where I have index.php and changed my .htaccess to

Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

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

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L] 

</IfModule>

I got the desired result (including JS files)

So - is /application/views/ folder forbidden for reading from views and I should replace CSS folder to root one?

Why don't you just create an 'assets' folder on the same level as index.php and use base/site_url to link to your css files.

I know it, but I want to know "best practices" of placing js/css/image in CodeIgniter.
What about Asset library?

Best practices are what Samus mentioned above!

Code:
application

system

index.php

assets

-- css

-- js

-- images

-- etc
