Adding extjs4 application to codeigniter application

Question

So I have a basic CodeIgniter application and a basic ExtJs 4 application:

I want my ExtJs 4 application to be served up as one of the pages of my codeigniter application.

I tried dumping my whole extjs4 project inside of the root directory under assets/extjs_app/. I then took the index.html from the extjs4 project and made it a template file (index.php) called by one of my controller actions.

Now I am new with both of these technologies and as of yet have not had to include any js / css into my codeigniter application. I have

<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Account Manager</title>
    <!-- <x-compile> -->
        <!-- <x-bootstrap> -->
            <link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap.css">
            <script src="<?= base_url('assets/extjs_app') ?>/ext/ext-dev.js"></script>
            <script src="<?= base_url('assets/extjs_app') ?>/bootstrap.js"></script>
        <!-- </x-bootstrap> -->
        <script src="<?= base_url('assets/extjs_app') ?>/app.js"></script>
    <!-- </x-compile> -->
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

It isn't picking up the js or css files though.

What am i missing? Also, this is just a hack job on my part. Is there any documentation of combining these two technologies elsewhere?

So the answer to this question is that ALL of my requests were getting forwarded to my front controller due to rewrite rules in my top-level .htaccess.

I added:

RewriteCond $1 !^(assets)

to the htaccess file and am now able to access the application resources. I am going to try to put together a better file system. Something like https://github.com/richie87/codeigniter-meets-extjs possibly.

Hope this helps someone else.
