Where do I put image files, css, js, etc. in Codei

Question

Where is it acceptable to put css folders and image file folders? I was thinking inside the view folder? However the controller always reroutes the path to the base url so I have to specify the path in the .html file to where it sits, which is redundant.

Answer 1

add one folder any name e.g public and add .htaccess file and write allow from all it means, in this folder your all files and all folder will not give error Access forbidden! use it like this

<link href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>application/public/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"  />
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo base_url(); ?>application/public/js/javascript.js"></script>

Answer 2

I usually put all my files like that into an "assets" folder in the application root, and then I make sure to use an Asset_Helper to point to those files for me. This is what CodeIgniter suggests.

Answer 3

I use the following folder structure:

application 
system 
static
    admin
        js
        css
        images
    public
        js
        css
        images
    uploads
        original
        thumbs

Answer 4

(I am new to Codeigniter, so I don't know if this is the best advice)

I keep publicly available files in my public folder. It is logical for them to be there, and I don't want to use Codeigniter for something I don't need to use it for.

The directory tree looks likes this:

• /application/
• /public/
• /public/css/
• /public/img/
• /public/js/
• /system/

The only files I keep in /public/ are Codeigniter's index.php, and my .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^css/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^img/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^js/ - [L]

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

Hi our sturucture is like Application, system, user_guide

create a folder name assets just near all the folders and then inside this assets folder create css and javascript and images folder put all your css js insiide the folders

now go to header.php and call the css just like this.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url();?>assets/css/touchTouch.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url();?>assets/css/style.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url();?>assets/css/camera.css"> 

Answer 6

This is how I handle the public assets. Here I use Phalcon PHP's Bootstrap method.

Folder Structure

|-.htaccess*
|-application/
|-public/
  |-.htaccess**
  |-index.php***
  |-css/
  |-js/
  |-img/
  |-font/
  |-upload/
|-system

Files to edit

1. .htaccess*

   All requests to the project will be rewritten to the public/ directory making it the document root. This step ensures that the internal project folders remain hidden from public viewing and thus eliminates security threats of this kind. - Phalconphp Doc

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine on
       RewriteRule  ^$ public/    [L]
       RewriteRule  (.*) public/$1 [L]
   </IfModule>
   

2. .htaccess**

   Rules will check if the requested file exists and, if it does, it doesn’t have to be rewritten by the web server module. - Phalconphp Doc

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
   </IfModule>
   

3. index.php***

   Modify the application path and the system path as,

   $system_path = '../system';
   $application_folder = '../application';
   

Now you use the public folder as base_url()."public/[YOUR ASSET FOLDER]"

Hope this helps :)
