I have this setup:

application
assets
system
.htaccess

and in the "assets" folder i have subfolders like "img" or "js" and so on. I also use "utility helper" to help me point to that folder.

If you want to try it, you have to first create a helper named "utility_helper.php" with this code:

and store it in

     application/helpers/

then you have to autoload that helper, you go to:

  application/config/autoload.php

and auto load the helper (example: )

  $autoload['helper'] = array('form', 'url', 'utility');

you have also to route to that folder ('application/config/routes.php')

       $route['assets/(:any)'] = 'assets/$1';

and have a .htaccess file with this content:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|assets|robots\.txt)
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

now you can simply include external scripts, css example:

where css is the folder inside assets and style.css is the css file. Like so:

   application
   assets
          css
              style.css
   system
