Fresh SVN install from yesterday 1-11-07

For links in content and custom html module:

When I do:
/index.php/services/professional-support

the link becomes:
http://localhost/index.php/services/pro ... al-support

while the site is in a sub directory:
htdocs/mysite/mysite_live

When I do:
index.php/services/professional-support

the link becomes:(double index)
http://localhost/mysite/mysite_live/ind ... al-support

Same thing counts for images:
images/books/image.jpg will show on the frontpage but on other pages they don't show.

There is no way to pinpoint what where works, I'm lost.

Could one of the devs be totally devoted to make the link/basehref etc etc problems go away because this really is a huge issue for people trying to build the first 1.5 sites and are great testers for the stable release, thanks.

I will run tests if needed, please let me know.

Arno

when it comes to rendering links few things might come handy to know.

First is if you have base -tag in your template (). Second isRewriteBase (/some_dir/)
.htaccess and maybe RewriteEngine ( On/Off ).

Then I thing it would be nice to be sure about how do you echo those url, if you are using JURI::base and/or JRoute::_() -method(s).

I was talking about putting just basic links in content items, no rewrite on just the standard sef on and I'm using no editor in the admin so it's all clean plain html.

test
test




Just to be clear.

If the link in src tag, or any other link, does not start with / or http, then it is prefixed by the apache or web browser. Possible places where one can affect what is used before link is .htaccess and base tag. If those are not in use,it is just prefixed with http -address and whatever the path (from apache root) to file is.

So you can not use links without it starting with / or http, that is just plain wrong. Previously in templates there was base -tag that told browser to fill those links, but it is not there anymore.

So what you are saying is normal behaviour. Not starting links with http or / leads to unpredictable or at least unexpected results.

edit: but as you are talking about links in content items, there might be some things to look at if you feel that links without / should be somehow automatically prefixed.

I know what you are saying but read carefully:

When I do:(saved in the db with the content item)
/index.php/services/professional-support

the link becomes:(on frontend from the db in content item)
http://localhost/index.php/services/pro ... al-support

while the site is in a sub directory:
htdocs/mysite/mysite_live

So it should become:
http://localhost/mysite/mysite_live/ind ... al-support

That doesn't happen and you can of course add the /mysite/mysite_live yourself to each link but that would mean it will be saved in the DB and moving a site from your local dev install to the production server will become a very annoying task.

That doesn't work so there must be something wrong me thinks.

while you were posting I edited my previous post....

When I finally understood what you meant. Thats right, while developer can add the prefix to links using JURI:.base() of course with editor it is different...

Must see how this affects to image uploading and selecting too... and to portability, if whole path is saved with content.

äsh, stupid me...

Of course those contents must be saved without any path, but when that content is used, then some replacement to uris not starting wtih http (or https or ftp or similar) must be done. That is: prefix should be added and that prefix is received by calling JURI::base.

This is actually problem that in short term could be solved by adding base tag, but as core deves have deprecated it it might not be used. However, it is just for these cases where that base tag is meant to be used...

But this issue is known, what the solution is going to be remains to be seen, good proposals are welcome I guess.

Hi,
Whilst we await a final solution, does anyone know how we can add the base tag feature that was deprecated please?

many thanks,

- Vince

well,

if you really want to...

the base tag is html tag, that should be in head and it looks like this:
where href is your installation directory.

You can add this to your template directly after opening head -tag.

JURI::base(true) gives the correct value (I suppose, have not tested) or/and $this->baseurl

When I last tested this, JURI::base(true) came up empty and $this->baseurl always comes up empty.

I use
Quote:
define('MY_BASE', JURI::base())
and that give me the base url.
This also using last Fridays svn.
Example:
Quote:
define("JURL_BASE", JURI::base());

Arno -

Do you see webstudent's proposed patch as helpful to this problem? If so, would you try it and see if it resolves your issue?

Just wanted to make this connection in case it was relevant,
Amy :)
