I have a setup like this:
- application
- system
- assets
- js
- imgs
- css
I then have a helper function that simply returns the full path to this depending on my setup, something similar to:
application/helpers/utility_helper.php:
function asset_url(){
return base_url().'assets/';
}
I will usually keep common routines similar to this in the same file and autoload it with codeigniter’s autoload configuration.
Note: autoload URL helper for
base_url()
access.
application/config/autoload.php:
$autoload['helper'] = array('url','utility');
You will then have access to asset_url()
throughout your code.
