I cut my teeth on PostNuke, and its modules resolve relative urls starting from the root folder of the PostNuke install.

So, I was a little surprised to see that XOOPS modules do it differently -- they seem to resolve starting from the specific module's folder.

So, a link like <a href="myFiles/file.txt">my File</a> in a news article, would resolve to

<root folder>/modules/news/myFiles/file.txt

in Xoops

and to

<root folder>/myFiles/file.txt

in PostNuke.

Is this intended behavior? Does anyone know why XOOPS handles it this way? Is there a configuration setting to change this behavior?

Thanks,

David

It is because PostNuke uses the "front controller" (all pages are loaded from a file in the root folder) where XOOPS modules load individual files. When you specify a relative URL, your browser (I think) will go from the active URL when calculating the new location.

I think you can get it to count from the domain root by starting the link with a forward slash /
