You are right, it is a little confusing. It’s a personal choice of mine to put all the app in the web root, then have CI sitting one up from there. Think I should rename the appdir to application or pyrocms?
Edit: Got a potential fix for asset helper. To find the relative root path this crazy bit of code should do it.
$relative_appdir = isset($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])
? str_replace( str_replace("\\", "/", $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) , '', str_replace("\\", "/", realpath(APPPATH)) )
: '';
echo $asset_dir = $relative_appdir .'/assets/';
Could someone check my logic there? It seems about right, on a default CI install that code gave me:
/codeigniter/application/assets/
I basically want to avoid using base_url() as this means you have to create a HTTP connection for each and every file you include, that would be no good for speed at all.
