Links in header contain index.php

[thijslemmens]

The 1.0 version used links like:
href="backend/settings"

Now this has become:
href="/index.php/backend/settings"

Is there a good reason to do that?

Shouldn't you use site_url('backend/settings') ?

I'm not writing a lot of php, and I'm not familiar with CodeIgniter, that's why I'm ask. I'm happy to send in a pull request with the fix if you confirm I am correct.

By the way, I just upgraded, and my URL's containing index.php if I click around. I'm using an NGINX config instead of .htaccess and a subfolder.

Actually you're definitely right. It was supposed to be like that but I didn't know about the URL helper back then and the site_url method so this is why I've written that manually.

I will mark this as an enhancement and give you the time to integrate it within the application.

Thanks for noticing :)
