[support] base_path

[Kobus Myburgh]

Hi!

Thanks for your reply!

The problem that I have is that when I add it as Ber suggested, all my static links don't work when my site is in a subfolder such as www.mydomain.com/mysite instead of at the root level, www.mydomain.com.

This means I have to go and edit the content by hand to make it work. Everywhere where I have an <a href...> when the site is in a subfolder, this proposed solution doesn't work as expected...

Should it be necessary to hack Drupal like this? It just doesn't sound right that this thing that was working perfectly is now broken. What was gain from this change? I see no gains, only heartaches and sorrows. Perhaps if someone can explain to me in terms I can understand what gained was from this, I will understand better and stop resisting the forces of change ;-)

Regards,

Kobus

I believe Ber's suggestion was to manually re-add the base tag to your theme 
and just put in whatever value it should have.  Poof, legacy links work again 
while new base_path() links ignore it.

himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
