[9366] Discussion, lack of configurable base URL.

Discussion for tracker artifact 9366 http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... em_id=9366

A few points:
I mentioned REQUEST_URI because, using Apache, Joomla uses that to generate the base uri. So if you set it like I sugested, it may remove that part of the path from the part of the urls that Joomla generates.

A note on artifcat priority. You can read the definitions of priority at http://groups.google.com/group/joomla-d ... priorities

I classified this issue as "normal priority" because it's defined as
Issues that are hindering advertised behaviour but the application is still workable. Examples would include parameters not working as advertised, language files not loading as expected, etc.

This is a similar problem to the reverse proxy issue.

Personally, I think the easiest solution is to add an "Advanced" tab to Global Configuration, add a new variable something like "Fixed Live Site URL" and then JURI::base() looks at this first. I think this is the easiest way to knock these issues on the head.

What do you think?

Hi,

While we are at it, I'd suggest also a "Secure live site URL" as well. Last time I checked, J! still switched to SSL by using https+Live site URL. Many people on shared host use a totally different url, provided by their host, when going SSL (I have such a Secure URL in sh404SEF, needed for e-commerce users).

Hello,

I would like to confirm that this is a problem for me too. I'm testing Joomla 1.5.3 and didn't think there would be an issue, since the functionality was present in the 1.0.X series.

What I have:
http://mydomain/j1 <- this is where my joomla site is
http://mydomain/j2 <- backup site + backup database, synced regularly with j1, used for testing updates.
http://mydomain has a .htaccess that redirects every request like http://mydomain/something to http://mydomain/j1/something ... or http://mydomain/j2/something

I need to force Joomla 1.5 to use http://mydomain/ as the base URL, not the inferred http://mydomain/j1

Please don't let this feature request slip under the radar!

Regards,
Egor

This has been fixed since 1.5.1... There's a $live_site var in configuration.php that you can use...

Good enough for me. Sorry about the rant.
