Magento 1.9 Controllers – Use Skin URL in Controller

Modified method getCacheKeyInfo in class Mage_Page_Block_Html_Topmenu as below

public function getCacheKeyInfo()
    {
        $shortCacheId = array(
            'TOPMENU',
            Mage::app()->getStore()->getId(),
            (int)Mage::app()->getStore()->isCurrentlySecure(), // newly added line to check if secure or non secure
            Mage::getDesign()->getPackageName(),
            Mage::getDesign()->getTheme('template'),
            Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId(),
            'template' => $this->getTemplate(),
            'name' => $this->getNameInLayout(),
            $this->getCurrentEntityKey()
        );
        $cacheId = $shortCacheId;

        $shortCacheId = array_values($shortCacheId);
        $shortCacheId = implode('|', $shortCacheId);
        $shortCacheId = md5($shortCacheId);

        $cacheId['entity_key'] = $this->getCurrentEntityKey();
        $cacheId['short_cache_id'] = $shortCacheId;

        return $cacheId;
    }

I have used following command to get different URL in magento Get Url in phtml files

1. Get Base Url :

Mage::getBaseUrl();

2. Get Skin Url :

Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_SKIN);

(a) Unsecure Skin Url :

$this->getSkinUrl('images/imagename.jpg');

(b) Secure Skin Url :

$this->getSkinUrl('images/imagename.gif', array('_secure'=>true));

3. Get Media Url :

Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_MEDIA);

4. Get Js Url :

Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_JS);

5. Get Store Url :

Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_WEB);

6. Get Current Url

Mage::helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl();

Get Url in cms pages or static blocks

1. Get Base Url :

{{store url=""}}

2. Get Skin Url :

{{skin url='images/imagename.jpg'}}

3. Get Media Url :

{{media url='/imagename.jpg'}}

4. Get Store Url :

{{store url='mypage.html'}}

I think this will help you.
