What I do with CI is set up an autoloading model (config/autoload.php) with all my constants, so things like the site's name, full url paths for images, css, ans JS, and so on.

 

Example:

class Constants extends CI_Model {

public $CI;

/**
 * Constructor
 *
 */
function __construct()
{
	// Call the Model constructor
	parent::__construct();

	// Create an instance to CI
	$CI =& get_instance();

	// Load the settings, users & session models
	$CI->load->model('Settings_model', 'settings');
	$CI->load->model('Users_model', 'users');
	$CI->load->model('Session_model', 'user');

	// Define frequently used settings
	define('SITE_NAME', $this->get_setting('site_name'));
	define('ADMIN', 'admin/');
	define('ADMIN_URL', base_url() . 'app_path/views/' . ADMIN);
	define('FILES', '/var/www/path/to/app_path/files');  //full path to folder OUTSIDE of CMS application directory
	define('IMAGES', base_url() . 'app_path/views/images/');
	define('UPLOAD', 'app_path/views/images/');
	define('CSS', 'app_path/css/');

}

 

Then when you're using your frequent functions, you can do:

//  quick link to CSS
<?php echo link_tag(CSS . 'style.css'); ?>

// quick link for admin shtuff
<?php echo anchor(ADMIN . 'home', 'Admin Panel'); ?>

// regular linkage
<?php echo anchor('reviews/unread', 'Unread Reviews'); ?>
