base_url issue?

[scottybe]

My hybridauthlib.php file sets config['base_url'] to '/hauth/endpoint'. What I don't understand is that according to http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/helpers/url_helper.html, config['base_url'] should be set to my site's base URL, and I use it to include files like the following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo base_url();?>..........

Of course, this doesn't work if I change it's value to '/hauth/endpoint'. What am I missing or doing wrong?

Thanks.

The config['base_url'] in the CodeIgniter documentation refers to the config option inside the file application/config/config.php (CodeIgniter configuration).

The definition inside application/config/hybridauthlib.php is only for the HybridIgniter library.

It's a coincidence that the two options have the same name.

Ah. My mistake was thinking that I needed to load the hybridauthlib.php config file in MY_Controller with $this->config->load('hybridauthlib'); which overwrote the 'base_url' element of the config array.

Still not sure where it gets loaded, but I took it out and it works. Thanks!

The configuration file is loaded automatically by CodeIgniter when you load the library.
