Included .js-script and wrong relative paths

atar · December 30, 2015

Hey everyone!

I am trying to set up my first website with processwire and bootstrap, but I am facing a little problem:

My template file includes a _footer.inc at the end of the page.

In the _footer.inc there is a line that says:

<script src="<?php echo $config->urls->templates?>assets/js/docs.min.js"></script>

Up to here, everything works great thanks to <?php echo $config->urls->templates?>

But, the docs.min.js file has another path in it:

moviePath:"/assets/flash/ZeroClipboard.swf"

What results in:

domain.de/repair/assets/flash/ZeroClipboard.swf not found (404)

because the file in in fact stored in

domain.de/site/templates/assets/flash/ZeroClipboard.swf

Is there any easy way to config e.g. processwire, to tell it that all the files are stored in the template folder?

Btw.: I don't want to write the full path in the source-file, thats a bit ugly i think.

Thank you very very much in advance!

What happens if you copy the ZeroClipboard.swf file to the /repair/assets/flash/ directory?

How about using

<base href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates?>">

as the first child of the <head> tag?

In this case you only need:

<script src="assets/js/docs.min.js"></script>

@steven: It would work, but i would prefer to store the files in the templates folder

@szabesz: I will try that and tell you if it works for me.

Thank you a lot for your answers so far!

Thank you a lot! It works now, as long as I use the <base>-tag and also change

moviePath:"/assets/flash/ZeroClipboard.swf"

to

moviePath:"./assets/flash/ZeroClipboard.swf"

That's good enough for now
