Hello, Yes drupal does support this. It is actually the only method that is used. If you have a look at the source you will see that all the url's are node/1234 or q=node/1234 (depending on clean urls) Gordon. Matt England wrote:
Can Drupal support "automatic relative URL" generation?
By automatic relative URL" I mean something similar to MediaWiki's "[[]]" construct: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing#Links.2C_URLs
For example, rather then hard-coding this entire URL into the content of this message: http://drupal.org/node/21832
...I would prefer the Drupal new-post mechanism take this URL string and auto-convert it to something that just says "/node/21832" and will automatically change if the server is "assigned" a new primary "base" URL/domain address. This can also help (and is my biggest purpose) with local "caches" of Drupal content for "snapshot" reference, say as an included documentation set for a product that was developed using Drupal for said product's collaboration and/or documentation.
Alternatively, maybe Drupal could allow the author to make a reference like [[node/21832]] to do the same as above (and still support pathauto aliases in the process).
Does my explanation make any sense?
Does this capability exist? Possibly via some module or patch?
