I have an Image TV that is displaying on my home page. I am using friendly URL and also have use_alias_path set to "Yes". The description of that setting says I need to format my paths like this: "/assets/img/img1.png". But when I select an image for my TV it enters the path like this: "assets/img/img1.png".

How do I make the browser put that leading slash at the front of the path?

I think I fixed it.

Is putting this into my template the most appropriate way to fix this?

<base href="[[!++site_url]]">

You don't need to call the site url uncached unless you plan on having it change every time so get rid of the !, should be:

<base href="[[++site_url]]">

Will do. Thank you!
