Support / as blog url

[dooblem]

Hello,

In my blog, in wanted all my URLs like "/post/mypost" instead of " http://blogurl/post/mypost". So I use "/" as dc_blog_url setting.

I don't know what you think, but for me using full URLs for internal links is redundant and ugly.

Moreover, I use the dctranslation plugin and my blog has two different hostnames, one for each lang.

For all I have seen, the "/" blog_url setting works fine, except for the attachments : attachment URLs are rendered as "public/myfile".

A workaround is to use "public" instead of "/public" as dc_public_url, but I think this is used somewhere else and can broke some links.

So I used the following simple patch to "inc/core/class.dc.media.php".

Hello,
does your relative URLs work in your Atom feed ?

[dooblem]

I think so.

Look :  http://www.positon.org/feed/atom

Ok, images in the feed are broken with / as dc_blog_url. It is because the "absoluteURLs" function fails if url_root contains no  http://host/

I used the following workaround (see lib.html.php.patch).

Why don't you simply use " http://blogurl/post/mypost" as the blog URL ? Don't you think that it's more simple to use " http://blogurl/post/mypost" as your blog URL ? Who cares if URLs are full or not ?

[dooblem]

Just for the beauty of HTML and the KISS principle, I think we should use absolute URLs for external links and relative URLs for internal links. In my case, my blog is also accessed from 2 differents "blogurl" : one for french, one for english.

I don't know why all CMS I've seen so far always use a "base url" parameter. For me it's more complicated in the code.

But you're right... it's more simple in dotclear to use full urls.

Thanks for your response.

The true reason is that Dotclear is fully multi-blog ready and uses the URL as a blog identifier, that's why absolute URLs cannot be used.
