This question has been asked several times, but have not found the right answer which will work on my project.
my CSS file liking
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/css/style.css"/>
The css file is in:
-main_directory
-Application
-Assets
-css
-style.css
-System
I also tried to link css using base_url href="<?php echo base_url('assets/css/style.css');?>" but it doesn't work for me.
So what is the problem? Can anyone help?
Your structure should be like this
myproject
application
assets
css
style.css
system
autoload url helper in config/autoload.php
$autoload['helper'] = array('url');
Now
<link href = '<?php echo base_url()?>/assets/css/style.css'>
This should work. Make sure your spellings are correct and see the casd sensitive issue if you are using linux.
is your base_url() method config properly? Check here...
ci_app_folder/config/config.php
if yours is located in c:/xampp/htdocs/ci_app_name
$config['base_url'] = 'localhost/ci_app_name'; //or localhost:90/ci_app_name if you had changed port
Then you can use this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo base_url('assets/css/style.css'); ?>" >
You can also set base_url() empty . If you haven't uploaded to web hosting/server.
Try this once -
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo base_url();?>assets/css/style.css" />
You could place the custom css links like this :
background-image:url(../../); moving back to the directory you want
using CI you need to use in-line css: eg.
<div style = background-image: url(<?php echo base_url();?>)assets/images/>
</div>
