    <p>I will be building a CMS for my final Web Development course project, and i've been challenged by my teacher creating it in an MVC system, and for now, I'll be using CodeIgniter.</p> <p>Therefore, I would like to know how do you organize your file / folder structure.</p> <p>I will be using a simple templating system: - For now I have a templates.php config file that is being autoloaded and says the name of the selected template, and the absolute path to it. - The templates folder is inside the views folder (is this the most correct way to do this?) - Right now I am having some problem to access .css files through the files in the view, and, from what I've read people usually put all that files outside the application folder.</p> <p>How do you normally do it? And, as seeing what I am building, what advices can you give me? Shouldn't views contain all the stuff from templates? (including CSS inside the folder of templates)</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p><em>(i'm using the Code Ignitor 2.1.0)</em></p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Right now, after structured all the files and folders, I am in a dilemma. I have added the following in constants.php</p> <pre><code>&lt;!-- language: lang-php --&gt; $config['selected_template'] = 'oceania'; $config['template_abs_path'] = 'assets/templates/'.$config['selected_template']; define('IMAGES_PATH', $config['template_abs_path'].'/img/' ); define('CSS_PATH', $config['template_abs_path'].'/css/' ); define('SCRIPTS_PATH', $config['template_abs_path'].'/js/' ); </code></pre> <p>(if I didn't define the selected_template and template_abs_path I could play with them in the constants)</p> <p>And i'm including them in the HTML like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt; &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="&lt;?=CSS_PATH;?&gt;style.css" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>But now, I was trying to get a title stored in config too, but I can't do it, because I need all this variables to be in the other templates.php file that I had created previously, otherwise it will not recognize my variables. (I have templates autoloading)</p> <p>templates.php</p> <pre><code>&lt;!-- language: lang-php --&gt; &lt;?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed'); $config['title'] = 'Title of the website'; $config['selected_template'] = 'oceania'; $config['template_abs_path'] = 'templates/'.$config['selected_template']; </code></pre> <p>header.php</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="logo"&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;&lt;?=$this-&gt;config-&gt;item('title');?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Therefore, do I need to have both config to have it working on my website? It really doesn't make much sense for me...</p>

    1. COAll public files (images, js scripts, css files etc) should be under document root. All other files should never be under document root (except for the bootstrap file).

    2. COBut if I have a templating system, should I repeat the folders templates/name_of_the_template in the root and in the views folder? Because I can have different files...

    3. COI usually keep my views simple, just plain old PHP files and layouts etc. There is no reason to mix up your Assets with your views, CSS/images/JS can be placed in its own folders.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
