How to insert external CSS in Codeigniter 3

Navigation
4

I would like to know how to insert an external css file into a Codeigniter 3 view. I configured the $ autoload ['helper'] = array ('url'); I tried calling in the following ways: 

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?=site_url('application/views/css/main.css')?>">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?=site_url('css/main.css')?>">

I also tested using base_url (); but the results were the same. It prints the html with the correct path but is not applying the styles. If I click on this link inside the browser's source code viewer it redirects me to the codeigniter default 404.

Make sure you call the help method on the Controller or the URL helper.

$this->load->helper('url');

Use the same base_url () . But then you have to set the URL to return the root folder path of your site.

Assuming a structure like this:

  • www.raiz.com
    • index.php
    • css
      • meucss.css

And you want to include CSS in the index.php file, so base_url would be $config['base_url'] = "http://www.raiz.com/" .

In index.php, you would call the CSS:

<link href="<? echo base_url();?>/css/meucss.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
