Hello,

I trying to set up a dev site in MAMP and am having trouble getting my css and javascript assets hooked up.

The URL to the root directory of my site is localhost:8888/mysite/

I have my JS and CSS code in an /assets/ folder off the site root in mysite/assets/css/ and mysite/assets/js/. 

My question is this: When using ‘site_url’ to return the root path to where my EE install is located … would it be:

src=”{site_url}assets/js/...  or src=”{site_url}mysite/assets/js/...  ?

Thanks.

Hey ramonekalsaw,

The site_url variable will be substituted with your site URL as defined under Admin > General Configuration.

So site_url}assets/js/ should work. Does it not?

Thank you,

Thank you,

Frustratingly no : /

But I’ll bang around a bit more to see if it jogs loose ...

... just wondering ... is a / after site_url necessary?

site_url}/assets/js/

Thanks.

Hey ramonekalsaw,

The slash is only necessary if you did not include that in Admin > General Configuration.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
