Examples given are from Kohana 3, but the question is not limited to the framework.

I’ve always put my assets in a file structure like this

application
  - classes
  - views
assets
  - css
  - js
  - swf
  - images
    -- layout
    -- content
system
  - classes

I’ve started reading a few forums where people always mention their assets files are placed in the views folder. This makes a lot of sense to me as these files are tied to the views quite closely (being included by markup). Plus, it will unclutter the docroot.

What is the preferred location of a site’s assets? If I do place them under an views/assets folder, where should the actual template files go… under a separate folder like views/templates ?

    I tend to place mine in the web root (wherever that’s defined by the framework) so that I can reference /assets/img/myimage.jpg (or an analogous CSS/JS file, etc.). As Richard suggests, though, I do this because I’m sticking to the framework convention. I’m not familiar with Kohana, but the frameworks I’ve used extensively all place assets in the web root by convention.
