enforce absolute Path

Hello

How can I enforce phpwcms to use absolute paths for images and not relative paths?

Wrong, default
src="content/gt/27c758418eb6252711d38668f3a865fe.gif"

Correct, unfortunately not default
src="http://www.test.com/content/gt/27c75841 ... a865fe.gif"

What files do I have to change?
I already tried conf.inc and default.inc.php without success.

Regards Hans

Fortunately relative paths are default. There is no reason to use absolute paths for images. Think about https problem or how easy is to move a phpwcms from one directory to another, or from one domain name to another.

Hi strandel,
hey what??? :?: :shock:
what's wrong with relative paths???

you can run phphwcms with absolute paths but this would mean to patch many files manually????!!!

makes no sense at all???!!! :?:
and think about what Goran mentioned.....

if you get no images displayed by default, you may have still some path problems with your installation....

I want to grap a specific page created by phpwcms with an external newsletter software.
I tried to implement <base href=http://www.test.com/>. This works nicely. "Unfortunately", my newsletter software is rewriting all href for link and read tracking.... and <base href..> is also rewritten. After rewriting <base href ..> is not working correctly and no pictures are shown in the newsletter.

I ony can solve this problem by having absolute picture paths.
