Relative links vs. absolute links in heading 4

Similar Questions

• Be confused with the absolute/relative links

  I have a simple site and use PHP includes.

  I use paths that have the... / in front of them so that they are related.  I understand that I may use a path with just the bar oblique fwd and not two periods at the front, but I don't know why.

  My site works ok direct, but not when I use localhost to preview in the browser.

  What I'm doing wrong or not seeing?

  Thank you

  Installs on the Dreamweaver application development forum, which deals with PHP and other things aside server.

  You are also confused about the difference between absolute and relative links. An absolute link is a complete link - it contains the full path. Links that start by... / and / are both relative links. The first style is compared to the document. The second is relative to the root of the site.

  When you use PHP includes, the path to the include file must be compared to the document or the file must be in the PHP include_path.

  When you use links inside of an include file, they should normally be from the root of the site.

  Your links do not work locally because the root of the site is localhost. Probably, you develop your site in a subfolder of localhost. Therefore, the links point to a folder above what you want.

  The solution is to create a virtual host. Details on the configuration of the virtual hosts in Windows can be found in this tutorial on my website: http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/apache22_vhosts.php.

• How to make the site root-relative links work in DW and the server?

  See details on buggy behavior DW image link, below. My question is:

  (1) how the site root-relative links work in DW and the server? Or...

  (2) how to reliably automate change of hundreds of links relative to the root of the form

  /images/image.jpg relating to the document?

  In other words, to

  .. /images/image.jpg or

  .. /.. /images/image.jpg or

  .. /.. /.. /images/image.jpg etc... According to the location of the directory.

  The old format (/images/image.jpg ) used to work properly in my previous Setup of DW 8 but appear grey in DW after 'redevelopment' of mac cs5.5 DW. (they look good on the server, but it is difficult to change the image-heavy pages locally when they are all gray).

  I tried to change the files to how DW creates relative links root now:

  /public_html/images/image.jpg, which is a flow of root very easy, attractive, since there is a one-to-one mapping. These look great in DW, but are detailed on the server!

  I looked at the "Advanced" site configuration, and it seemed that it would be possible for the nuke part /public_html/ of my server info... but it also seemed that there was the potential to do damage, modification of these parameters, which are automatically generated from our server connection settings, which seem to work.

  The "links from the document / site root" toggle... did change how DW interprets existing links, or simply change the value by default when you add a link?  I did 80% of the file... before paper links I wondered if relative to the root is not better?

  Of course, it seems less ambiguous for all these pictures if theres a way to make the relative root works for the mode of creation of DW, DW link checking and server.

  Summary of the buggy behavior: (see the test with images here)

  Think of your site definition is set up wrong.  public_html should not be to anywhere in your local site.  It is up to your remote site under the directory root definition.  See screenshot.  In my example, the root directory of the server is htdocs /.  This is where you put public_html

• How can I disable all the related links?

  I never get tired to find the related link info. they pop up whenever I go to another site - I want to get rid of it - please help!

  Sounds like an extension not desired may have snuck on your system, perhaps as a ride-along with some free software.

  Try disabling all extensions essential or unknown here (when in doubt, turn off):

  Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category (in the left column, click on Extensions)

  Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Which closes down?

• Related links?

  I create a file that will connect to other PDF files.  All the files are on a flash drive.  The finished product will be copied in several other flash drives to be distributed to customers.

  How I have same link to files if I want to open them in a browser?

  I know that I can create the link and choose "Open a file" and Acrobat will guide me through to find the file, but I want to open it in a browser, so should I choose "Open web page", but then I don't know what to use as the URL.  I've read about relative links and I think that's what I need.

  I saw an example of a person with the same concept.  The files are on a flash drive, and when I looked at the link information that he was ready to open a web page.  The link itself was /somefoldername/thefilename.pdf that's all.  And if clicked it opens the pdf file in a browser.  Key is also that I can take this USB to any computer and it works.  So I know that this is possible, I'm missing a modest but significant step.

  You don't need to use web links to it. If you create links in Acrobat for files that are located on the same drive as the "master" file, they are always relative.

• Overview of browser does not display is not the correct path for root relative links (xampp)

  I just changed the links in the navigation bar of a site root relative links-related links.

  for example

  / shopping/Core-Skills-Training.

  I have a remote control and test server (xampp) set up and everything worked until I changed it. But the links are now displayed like this

  http://localhost/courses/core-skills-training/

  they should be

  http://localhost/testing/courses/core-skills-training/

  (I have several folders for different sites in the htdocs xampp.)

  I guess I just need to change a line or an option somewhere that it works, but don't know what.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Ben

  Here are my parameters to the test server.

  

  Well Yes.  It's the behaviour expected of a local test server.  The reason is that the / drills all the way up to your hard drive instead of the site xampp folder.  If you publish your remote site, your root relative links will work as it should.  Just trust your code.

• Root Relative Linking is not possible?

  I'm trying to set up my site so that the links are relative to the root of the Site, but it does not allow me to do.  I can click on the button of the root of the Site in local news, but when I click on save and then go back to it, she returned to the Document-related links.  I do not have a Web URL that I can enter in, and I have to use the link relative to the root (I can go into detail as to why, but I'm going to keep for now).

  Y at - it something that I am missing that allows me to do this?

  I use the Mac version of CC of Dreamweaver.  When I used a PC of CS6 version before switching to computers, there is no problem of this kind.

• AE: Conversion of relative footage in absolute paths

  Hello!

  Is there a way to convert the images related to those absolute paths? Kel ' ~ pics "to"C:\projects\images ".

  I create a script to change the paths of images and to copy/move the images from a folder to another easily.

  For moving (not only copy / delete), I need to create a file with associated .bat move orders and for this I need absolute paths.

  I failed to find anything on google or here. I also searched the Javascript Tools Guide but cannot get fileobject.absoluteURI or fileobject.localizedName to work at all.

  Another way would be to convert the relative format that AE uses in the command line format, but it seems impossible that the AE makes no distinction in the name of relative path if the dossier is on one, two or gazillion top-level folders.

  Thanks in advance!

  fileobject.fsName was the answer.

• I use the links added in the pdf edition and that it will create absolute links to relative links not?

  When I send files to the client the links do not work as they refer to the place on my hard drive not record that they exist in the customer's computer.  Is there a way to create a link with Adobe DC?  IE.   supportingfile.PDF instead of C://files/documents/myfiles/supportingfile.pdf. If the links will always work when they are sent to the client.

  Links created in Acrobat are always relative (unless you hardcoded the path to the file in a script or something like that). Move the file to a different location, and you will see that they will change accordingly.

• Try to change the broad relative to the absolute site link

• How to put in the form of related links content

  I have a report that lists accounts on its lines, and each account is linked to another (extraction emulation) report this amount of breaks for an account chosen in its components (original entry, settings, etc.). Everything works fine, but the departure report seems very 'busy' because each header line is pointed out now (because of the link to the related content report). Something like this:

  

  Is there any way to change (delete, make sure dotted, etc.) these points out, at least to change their color? I would not be surprised if there is a unit of config (xml, referential) somewhere in the system, so I hope that someone was playing with it now.

  Thank you

  Milos

  Just an update to all - Oracle came back to me and confirmed that this feature (by changing the formatting of link) only is not supported so far, and they have no intention when add you it. Too bad, with all others .css, .xml, and other configuration files, one would have thought that it was included also.

• How to store relative links when generating PDFs?

  I have a Word document with hypertext links.  When I generate a PDF, it makes these absolutes.  It doesn't matter how to generate the pdf file (save as pdf, print to PDF, using Macromedia for Word 2010, or open acrobat pro and conversion in this way).  How to preserve links to external files?

  The only recommendation I have is to use an external tool to convert files of absolute links to those related.

• Root relative linking

  Hi all
  
  My site has a menu nav which currently links are relative to the directory sound in. I have to go back and change the menu when I use the menu on another page that is in a different directory, so the links will work.
  
  Example:
  
  If I am on the home page and go to the page "epinfo.htm" so I'm here...
  
  per/epinfo.htm
  
  If so I navigate to the page "contact us", I get this...
  
  geninfo/geninfo/contactus.htm
  
  So I would like to know how to avoid having to go into the menu and change it whenever I use it in a different directory.
  
  Thank you!

  DW will adjust these links for you when you save pages in different
  records.

  Look - if I have a page that contains a link to this file.

  and I then save this level of a directory of top page, DW will adjust the
  link to be like this-

  It's one of the advantages of using something like DW - manages your
  Links for you.

• Odd: CS3 did not properly manage the relative link to swf file. Why?

  When I add a swf file to my model, it will update the pages, but then to write the link incorrectly. While the model said the swf file can be found here: /images/banners/Sales.swf it's not rewrite the link for the pages. So my index page always has the code: ... /images/banners/Sales.swf when it should read images/banners/sales.swf. The link to the JavaScript file is managed by Dreamweaver correctly, then why not the swf file? I missed something in the advanced site settings?

  If you use these things in the templates, you must use relative root.
  not links related document.

  Try this-

  /images/banners/sales.swf
