navbar question

**Rand al'Thor** · August 13, 2009

I'm preparing to (finally) turn VaultWiki live on my site, and I'm having an issue with the navbar.

I would like to force VaultWiki to use absolute URLs instead of relative ones [e.g., http://www.domain.ext/forum/showwiki.php vs. showwiki.php], but I don't see a way to do that. Is it possible?

Thanks,

Steven

VaultWiki was designed to use absolute URLs for all /showwiki.php links. I can't think of a situation where it would created a relative URL. Is there a particular link in your navbar you are having issues with?

My bad

To my understanding, the entire navbar typically uses relative links. How did you accomplish absolute URLs in the rest of the navbar? I would use the same method here if you can.

The vBa CMPS addon somehow changes the relative URLs in the navbar template to absolutes.

I solved the problem by prepending /forum/ to these links in the vault_general_links template:

Code:

<if condition="$links['forum_link']">
<tr>
	<td class="vbmenu_option"<if condition="$links['main_page']"> style="font-size: 70%"</if>><a href="/forum/forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$topinfo[forumid]&amp;redirect=no"><if condition="$links['main_page']">-- </if>$topinfo[title] ($vbphrase[vault_list])</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$links['create_link']">
<tr>
	<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="/forum/newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$topinfo[forumid]" title="$vbphrase[vault_new_article]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[vault_new_article]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>

It works.
