I am trying to centralize all deployment specific changes into CI's main config file and then have "lesser" config files (like a plugin's) read it from here.
In this specific instance:
I have CKEditor/CKFinder as plugins to my Codeigniter app. I would like to read values from CI's main config file from CKFinder's config file so that I can get at the baseURL.
In order to tell CKFinder where to look for images, you need to specify a baseURL in its config.php file. I would rather it read the baseURL from my main config file and append an image directory to this instead of modifying CKFinder's file directly.
I tried the following in CKFinder's config.php file to no avail:
$baseUrl=$this->$config['base_url'].'assets/my_images/';
Please lead me to the light!

if you wanna read base_url you can do something like this:
$baseUrl = base_url().'assets/my_images/';
Instead if you wanna reach a config-item, you can do this.
$this->config->item('your_constant');
and in the config file something like:
$config['your_constant'] = "your string";
You can use site_url which was intended to be an extension of base_url but for relative paths.
$baseUrl = site_url('/assets/my_images');
