I am working on PHP MVC Framework CodeIgniter, I have a base url set like this:

$config['base_url'] = 'localhost/portal_advseed';

I have changed my view folder outside of the application folder by changing the path in index.php at this line:

$view_folder = 'theme';

I have a header.php file located in theme folder which have some external files linked like this:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="theme/app-assets/images/ico/apple-icon-120.png">

I have a controller named "Stock", It has method "view_stock". In view stock method I am loading the header view file like this:

$this->load->view("header");

Now when i run the url http://localhost/portal_advseed/Stock/view_stockin my browser, it does load the header file but the it does not load the external files.

I have checked in the view source option, The href attribute showing something like this:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="theme/app-assets/images/ico/apple-icon-120.png">

When I click on the href link it goes there:

http://localhost/portal_advseed/Stock/theme/app-assets/images/ico/apple-icon-120.png

And page show view not found error which is obvious, It should have actually goes to the link :

http://localhost/portal_advseed/theme/app-assets/images/ico/apple-icon-120.png

So Why href is linked to wrong url? what is I am doing wrong?

Edit: I have also tried adding base_url and site_url but they are not working too. Instead after doing this href to linked to a url which shows the base url twice.

As you have found out the link are relative to the current page. You need to tell the links where they are on the site. You could use something like:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="$config['base_url']theme/app-assets/images/ico/apple-icon-120.png">
