Codeigniter has a function, base_url()
<?php echo base_url('/file')?>
that prints the absolute URL,
Is there any equivalent for Opencart?
Look in the header.php controller file
if (isset($this->request->server['HTTPS']) && (($this->request->server['HTTPS'] == 'on') || ($this->request->server['HTTPS'] == '1'))) {
$this->data['base'] = $this->config->get('config_ssl');
} else {
$this->data['base'] = $this->config->get('config_url');
}
Just call below from your template file.
<?php echo $base; ?>
