Hi,
I have been thinking for months on this issue and tried several things,
One is within codeigniter, creating an assetmanager controller class and
use its action to navigate the design time url to runtime url ... The code
is most bottom of this message. And note that I didn't like and use it,
because it uses ugly redirect command for each url, but in theori it is
working.
Other theory is using server shortcuts for runtime url access. It is better
than using redirect command but it needs server configuration, and not an
ellastic solution especially you need to create multiple template based
projects require new templates and assets folder dymamicly created
continously...
The last trick which I so far desided to use is using ${imagepath} as the
forlder name. So in design time, or while opening directly template html
file, for example an image tag
<img src='${imagepath}/image1.png'>. In windows, I can make my image assets
folder name as ${imagepath} and it works in linux server... This always
works except dreamweaver design time for in css files like this example
definition .style1 { background:url(${imagepath}/image1.png)} because of
the braces inside braces.
Above them are still ugly solutions for me.
What I dreamed soluiton is that, enhancing phptal dom capability to read
the attrybute values in templates and to set them for runtime working. So
that our desing time url, special-folder-name-for-assets in <img
src="special-folder-name-for-assets/icons/ico.png"> will output like
"application/views/special-folder-name-for-assets/icons/ico.png". Yet, this
does not solver urls in css files. But does a lot of ugly work as well as
other dom operations. It would be very nice if enhancing phptals dom
capability using phpquery <http://code.google.com/p/phpquery/>.
