Are you loading the l() files through bootstrap? If so, try setting $base_path after you do your bootstrap. Jamie Holly http://www.intoxination.net http://www.hollyit.net On 7/5/2011 6:11 PM, Jeff Hartman wrote:

In Drupal 6 I have an external script to create some nodes. I would like to use the l() function to create links to other nodes using 'node/n' as the path. However, since my script is running at doc root*, the l function (actually the url() function) is prepending the current directory to the url.

So instead of:

http://www.example.com/this/that/then-some

I'm getting:

http://www.example.com/scripts/this/that/then-some

Thoughts?

* later this script will move outside of doc root

The bottom line is: Make your external script a drush script, so Drupal will be bootstrapped and set up correctly. There are loads of advantages to this - mostly that you don't have to track down every problem you find like you're doing right now. Alternately, you can bootstrap Drupal yourself, but drush is the best way to do it. -Randy On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 4:11 PM, Jeff Hartman <lists@jeffhartman.com> wrote:
