I created a custom config file with my own global variable.
When I'm using the EE debugger, I have an output of my global variables:
So, I guess, they exists and I can access to them.
The problem is that when I'm using them in my files, I have no output, my CSS files are not loaded, well, there is nothing.
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{global:css_url}style.css" media="screen" />
Did I do something wrong ??
Have you tried just using the variable name?
{css_url}If it's just a straight global variable, you shouldn't need to prepend it with "global:".
User-defined Global Variable Documentation -- see the comments for the method I believe you're using to set the variable.
Update
Please disregard my previous answer. I wasn't fully grasping how you were naming the variables. Instead, let me answer with a question: Do your other global variables work? If not, try removing "global:" from the variable name (both when you set it and when you use it) and see if that gets you anywhere.
It seems the global variables you have defined that are specific to the environment seem unecessary. I would just use the standard site_url instead of having to define all those variables once the site is moved to a production/live server or just make them relative.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{site_url}/assets/css/style.css" media="screen" />
or
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/style.css" media="screen" />
Then any related uploaded content will be defined in the Upload Preferences: server path and URL path
I found the solution and It was not a problem with my global variable.
One of my config line was wrong and the rest of the code was not executed so I couldn't use them.
Everything is back to normal, thanks you again.
