Having links work in both website and WHMCS templates

[Andreas]

Hey Guys

 

I need some help with my integration. I updated my website design and got it all integrated, and it looks awesome. (I did it myself).

 

All do all my sites with .php ext. so I can use the includes options. So I can make one change in a file and it will change on all pages. This time I figured out how to use the includes in the WHMCS templates, so now when I make a change it will be on my website and WHMCS templates. Very nice.

 

Now this is the issue I am seeing.

 

My website is located in folder /website

My whmcs is located in /support.

 

SO the issue is the links in my header and footer will not work when users are browsing in the WHMCS.

 

So im guessing I could just use absolute paths in the links, but I do prefer to relative paths. So I was wondering if this is possible...

 

- have the ability to update one file still and links will work for both website and whmc header/footer while using relative paths.

 

I appreciate any ideas you guys have

You can still use relative paths, but they need to be root relative instead of document relative.

root: /folder/file.ext

doc: ./file.ext (or simply file.ext) or ../file.ext (up one folder)

absolute: /home/user/www/folder/file.ext for internals, or http://www.so on and so on for external

Ah I never thought of that. Use /home/user/public_html/website

 

I will try that

 

thanks bear

To be clear, that's only for the include file. For links to work for visitors, it needs to be root relative (/dir/file.ext) or absolute (http://...).
