Hello,

We are using EE 1.6.9, relying heavily on {base_url} to provide our urls. The trouble is, we’re unable to figure out:

If a user is not logged_in, then the base_url includes the site_index

If a user is logged_in, then the base_url does not include the site_index

This is consistent across development/production platforms. We are relying on having site_index in the url for administrative reasons, so right now our only work-around is:

<a href="http://{base_url}{if">Link</a>

Is there a way we can make base_url consistent across logged-in and logged-out users?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I was wrong, base_url does not behave consistently from dev to production: on dev, base_url never adds the site_index, so we are adding it as part of base_url to get around this.

Another bug appears though: it doubles all links so a link to:

http://domain.com/site_index.php/segment

renders as:

http://domain.com/site_index.php/segmenthttp://domain.com/site_index.php/segment

and thus draws a 404.

Any help appreciated. Thank you.

End Edit

Hi Caroline,

Where are you creating the base_url variable? That is not one of the 1.x global variables.

Its in the path.php

Caroline,

Can you show us what you’re putting in path.php? Those global variables are static and don’t change. As an aside, any particular reason you aren’t using {site_url}?
