my problem is that sometimes in the banner div i need to place images
and sometimes videos or a picture slider.
That is why I decided to set the $banner from the controller the way I
did. But my problem is more related to paths and links because when I
set $banner = $html->image('Foo.jpg'
array('class'=>'banner','title'=>"Foo")); from the
pages_controller.php it works fine. However when I set the $banner
from the informations_controller.php the image does not shows up. I
can see in the html source code the image but the path needs to be
changed from 'img/Foo.jpg' to '../img/Foo.jpg' ... Do you have an
idea, why do i need to change the image path to ../ so I can see the
picture?
Also thank you very much for the .htaccess tips, have not try them yet
but soon.
