Question

I’ve used routing in Codeigniter to get nice clean URLs to my pages. I also have modified the htaccess file to remove the index.php from the URL.

It’s all working great except for 1 issue – When I go to a URL it won’t load the CSS or Images unless the trailing / is added to the URL.

For example:

mysite.com/blah
Does NOT work

mysite.com/blah/
DOES work

Probaby something in the .htaccess file? Here is my file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|user_photos|favicon|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdirectory/index.php/$1 [L]

Any ideas? Natrually I want users to be able to access the page even if they don’t add the trailing /

Answer 1

Use <?php echo base_url();?> in front of your css URL

example:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url();?>theme/css/main.css" />

As for the .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdirectory/index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|includes|theme|media|robots\.txt|fonts)
