Am using CakePHP, how can I remove /app/webroot/ in all my links?

tried many things.. and $Configuration['Garden']['WebRoot'] doesn't seem to work.

I will start an issue on github

Yes if you look at the code it isn't complete. I brought it up before.

thanks @x00 i can stop looking for now..

Yep a slight pain. it is sort of half done, left hanging.

@x00 do you know whether it can be hardcoded?
in wordpress there is a field which you can input the webroot, which can also be changed in the database..

sure it turns out to be a typo in code

simply in libary/core/class.request.php find
$this->_EnvironmentElement('ConfigStrips', Gdn::Config('Garden.StripWebRoot', FALSE))
replace it with
$this->_EnvironmentElement('ConfigStripUrl', Gdn::Config('Garden.StripWebRoot', FALSE))

config like so
$Configuration['Garden']['WebRoot'] = 'path/to/web/app';// you want to strip note no preceding or trailing slash. $Configuration['Garden']['StripWebRoot'] = TRUE;

Linc

I've fixed in the active branch and asked Tim to review it for me.

don't close it yet I'm going to suggest a slightly refined version.

x00

public function WebRoot($WebRoot = NULL) { $Path = (string)$this->_ParsedRequestElement('WebRoot', $WebRoot); $WebRootFromConfig = $this->_EnvironmentElement('ConfigWebRoot'); $RemoveWebRootConfig = $this->_EnvironmentElement('ConfigStripUrls'); if ($WebRootFromConfig && $RemoveWebRootConfig) {//strip code //don't worry about trailing preceding slashes/spaces $WebRootFromConfig = trim($WebRootFromConfig,'/ '); //case insensitive strip, once and from the beginning $Path = preg_replace('#^'.$WebRootFromConfig.'#i', '', $Path); } return $Path; }

if you change the directory structure remember to clear the cache

x00

also why don't you store result so this only gets called once per request.

It could also be possible to auto strip, which would make it more transportable.
