Hi -

I’m using {site_url}{page_uri} in a variety of places and having an issue with a double slash issue on the resulting strings (ie. http://www.domain.com//page).

It seems the site_url variable always appends a trailing slash (even if you omit it in the general config settings) and the page_uri field seems to always save a leading slash in the entry forms (even if you don’t type one in).

If there a way to remove one of these slashes from either variable? I’m running 2.5.2 and latest MSM.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike,

Thank you for posting your question here on the ExpressionEngine forums.

Can you check your config.php file for a hard coded url? The config file will override anything set in the Control Panel.

Thank you,

I assume you’re referring to the ‘base_url’ setting? That’s blank in the config doc.

So EE should be respecting the non-trailing slash site_url setting we entered in the CP?

Hello Mike,

Yes it should.

A good test is to create a new template and put {site_url} and {page_uri} and see what they both produce.

{page_uri} should reflect what you have under entries and in the page tab. Like “/pagetitle/”.

Can you try that and tell me what that does?

It’s also possible that each channel has the URL hard coded with a trailing slash. The setting is under Channel Settings and “Channel URL”. That is worth checking.

Cheers

Sorry - figured it out. While we didn’t have anything set in the config.php, we did have that setting in the index.php for that site. Slash removed there and it’s all good. Thanks for the help.

Hey Mike,

Awesome, really glad you are back in business!

If you need anything else, please just let me know by opening a new thread.

Cheers,
