Hi,

I’m currently using EE 2.2.1 with MSM 2.1.0 and I’m having a problem with the {site_url} variable.

If it’s in a webpage template, it gets rendered as “http://mysite.com/”. If it’s in a css template, it gets rendered as “http://mysite.com” ie no trailing slash.

I tried it on a test install without MSM and this time it rendered as “http://mysite.com/” both times. Obviously I can work around this but I was curious as to whether it was expected behaviour or not.

Thanks

Hi, pantasarus.

I did the following in a template:

body {
        background-color: pink;
        font-family: Verdana, Ariel, sans-serif;
        font-size: 11px;
        background: url({site_url}abc.jpg);
}

and got back the following when viewing the source:

body {
        background-color: pink;
        font-family: Verdana, Ariel, sans-serif;
        font-size: 11px;
        background: url(<a href="http://localhost/tip2/abc.jpg">http://localhost/tip2/abc.jpg</a>);
}

in other words, I can’t replicate the problem. Are you on the first site or a second site when testing this?

Hi,

This happens on the third site. The other two just use flat files for their css. The third one has the css stored as templates and saved as files, if that helps.

Hi, pantasaurus -

Are you testing this in totally reduced templates?

ie: make a blank css template and put just {site_url} in there.  same with a web page type template.  then view those in your browser and view source, do you still get the different results?

So the entire template contents should be one line:

{site_url}

Thanks!
