You probably can delete the topic or change it to something like "be careful with base tag" smiley]]> ddim Nov 20, 2009, 08:20 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/45459/solved-links-in-the-content-when-using-tinymce-a-k-a-beware-the-base-tag#dis-post-263034 <![CDATA[Re: Links in the content when using TinyMCE]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/45459/solved-links-in-the-content-when-using-tinymce-a-k-a-beware-the-base-tag#dis-post-263033
I don’t understand why you are getting URLs of the form: http://sitename/en/assets

Are you using a <base href=... tag? If so, what are you using?

I would suggest using:
<base href="(yams_server)"></base>

That way no rewrite rules should be necessary.]]> PaulSuckling Nov 19, 2009, 01:41 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/45459/solved-links-in-the-content-when-using-tinymce-a-k-a-beware-the-base-tag#dis-post-263033 <![CDATA[ [SOLVED] Links in the content when using TinyMCE (a.k.a &quot;Beware the base tag&quot;)]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/45459/solved-links-in-the-content-when-using-tinymce-a-k-a-beware-the-base-tag#dis-post-263032 The URL with default TinyMCE configuration (Path Options = docrelative) is "assets/files/docname.pdf".
This link is converted to http://sitename/en/assets... which is "wrong"
To make the links work correctly the configuration of TinyMCE should be changed to (Path Options = rootrelative)
After that the urls will have starting slash and will work correctly.
To make the life easier additional rewrite rules can be put like:

#Remove language codes from assets

RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^en/assets(.*)$ assets$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^bg/assets(.*)$ assets$1 [L,QSA]

With these rules you should not care about the configuration of the editor (or in case some hardcoded relative links to the assets are put somewhere)

(I’m not mod_rewrite specialist and may be the rules are not perfect, but in my case they do the job.)

Forgot to mention that this is valid for root mode of yams]]> ddim Nov 19, 2009, 03:16 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/45459/solved-links-in-the-content-when-using-tinymce-a-k-a-beware-the-base-tag#dis-post-263032
