primary links: "node" is repeated twice in url
dam - June 6, 2008 - 10:52
Hi all
This is the issue:
In the primary link menu if I put http://host/dir/node/xy as path for an entry everything works ok.
If I put only node/xy (I prefer this notation in case of future modifications in path) the primary link array is rendered well but with this problem.
the first time i click on an entry, let's say Home, the browser goes on node/xy. When I am on node/xy If I click again on Home the outputted url is http://host/dir/node/node/xy
and, of course, it's wrong and I get a 404
It happens the same also using a clean url as path
Any idea?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Dam
Whats your base directory?
Are you running out of a subfolder or straight from the domain? (eg: http://example.com/dir or http://example.com/)
If the former, make sure your settings.php base directory reflects the directory structure.
eg: (From memory) this should be $base_dir = '/dir/';
The line, $base_dir = '/';, should be there but commented out.
Also check the .htaccess file.
IF this is a menu only problem for the menu, make sure that your passing all your links through
l(), or if you really need to manually set the menu path, use base_path() . '/dir/' . $path for all links;Alan Davison

i was not precise
thanks Alan for your kind reply
To reply to your questions:
- it's in a subfolder
- in settings.php I have: $base_url = 'http://www.squadrainformatica.com/smak'
This is the .htaccess

Anyway I realize that I was not precise describing the issue. Now I have focused it better.
This is the web site http://www.squadrainformatica.com/smak/
When you load it, the menu is ok; after clicking on the menu entries you get http://www.squadrainformatica.com/smak/node/81. From this point all the url in the menu assume the form
http://www.squadrainformatica.com/smak/node/node/xy
It seems that drupal is not passing "index.php?q=" in the path, so apache rewrites starting from http://www.squadrainformatica.com/smak/node/ rather than http://www.squadrainformatica.com/smak/
That's why "node" is duplicated.
Now I'm lost because I don't know which mechanism drupal uses to produce links.
Probably it's just a stupid setting. Maybe also in apache settings...
Any idea?
try "RewriteBase /smak/"
I think both require trailing slashes. Try this in your apache config
Alan Davison

And your settings file
And in your settings file try:
<?php$base_url = '/smak/'
?>
And if your using clean urls, I don't think that this line is even needed!

solved. it was my fault
Thank you Alan again
I found the solution. It was my fault. I made a "sort of port" of garland theme to the smarty engine, but due to this problem http://drupal.org/node/265807 not yet solved (or better answered) I had to write this smarty code in page.tpl
<!-- primary links -->{if isset($primary_links) and $primary_links!=""}
<ul class="links primary-links">
{foreach name=outer item=link from=$primary_links}
<li ><a href="{$link.href}">{$link.title}</a></li>
{/foreach}
</ul>
{/if}
but it's wrong. this works ( ?q= was left away):
<!-- primary links -->{if isset($primary_links) and $primary_links!=""}
<ul class="links primary-links">
{foreach name=outer item=link from=$primary_links}
<li ><a href="?q={$link.href}">{$link.title}</a></li>
{/foreach}
</ul>
{/if}
thank you again
lol
I realize now that I already fixed this before!!
http://drupal.org/node/265807#comment-867795 <-- the smarty code has "?q="
probably I deleted it accidentally ... or I'm really getting crazy :-D
anyway
anyway I still need a better way to output primary links ...
(perhaps calling theme('links'...) from page.tpl ... but no idea in how to this through smarty engine)
if someone has some suggestions ... any help is appreciated
lol, use phptemplate

you are right but
but:
- I prefer smarty
- I need it because I have to merge other stuffs made using smarty
- at this point, it's a challenge ;-)
I have the same problem with
I have the same problem with clean urls enabled. I've tried setting
<base href="{$base_pat}">in my Smarty template, which outputs<base href="">. I've set$base_url = 'http://filebot/umuwi/drupal-6.3';under settings.php, andRewriteBase /umuwi/drupal-6.3/in .htaccess.In the Smarty documentation $base_pat supposedly returns the base url of site
Am I missing something?
