$config->urls->templates with absolute URL?

[Jonathan Lahijani]

$config->urls->templates will give you the relative URL, not the absolute URL containing "http://mysite.com/" part.

Is there are slick way to get the absolute URL?  If not, what's the next best approach?

Hi, I think you might want to combine it with: $config->httpHost

yep, was also the best solution i found:

<a href="//' . $config->httpHost . $booking->editUrl . '" target="_blank">

In recent PW3 versions you can prepend "http" and get absolute urls like this:

$config->urls->httpTemplates

The weekly blog had it here:

In the API:

Easy to miss this one.

Am I the only one often needing a httpsUrl instead of a httpurl?

Maybe it would make sense to have not only $config->url() and $config->path() but also $config->httpUrl() and $config->httpsUrl()

$config->url("/var/www/foo/bar/site/templates/style.css"); // /site/templates/style.css
$config->path("/site/templates/style.css"); // /var/www/foo/bar/site/templates/style.css
$config->httpUrl("/site/templates/style.css"); // http://www.foo.bar/site/templates/style.css
$config->httpsUrl("/site/templates/style.css"); // https://www.foo.bar/site/templates/style.css
$config->httpsUrl($pages->get(2)); // https://www.foo.bar/processwire/
