Codeigniter: include js files ci folder is installed outside http folder

Question

I am new in CI - and the framework is awesome.

These are the best answers I can get:
- CodeIgniter: How do I include a .js file in view?
- Codeigniter: How to include javascript files

I am trying to include js/css files but: My CI folder including application and system are not installed on the http(/var/www/)[for default installation] folder, I placed somewhere else. So i assume their installations above are in http default folder, I have :

http:
/var/www
CI:
/opt/codeigniter

+aplication
+system

Thank you so much in advance

base_url() will return your project path. Then you can use ../ to include file with the correct path. — Kumar V

Use this code

<script href="<?php base_url().'path/to/file' ?>" type="text/javascript"></script>

The javascript folder should be outside the application folder

app_folder

-application

--views

--controllers

-system

-css

-js

Hope this helps
