Files in different directories, keep multiple menu copies?

Hello,

I was wondering how you guys deal with having your files in different directories.

I want to keep the paths relative, so that links work online and offline, but since I have different directories, does this mean that I have to have a seperate menu_data.js for each different directory level so that I can have menus work?

Thanks,
Shawn

Ahhh...I think I found the answer using an extra "/"

/people/page.php

instead of

people/page.php

which brings me to another question. I don't have the directory I'm working in at the very root of the server, because there are many other files on the server. Is there a way to make the server think its already at the root without actually setting a new /htdoc location? (I'm using apache btw)

I suppose you could try the BASE tag in the head of your documents, to define a base url. Then your relative urls (e.g., people/page.php rather than /people/page.php) would start from the base. For example, in the head section:

Then a link with an href="people/page.php" should actually resolve to http://www.mysite.com/site1/root/people/page.php (at lease if I remember correctly!)

Only thing is... I don't know if urls specified in the Milonic items would also use the BASE url. Never tried it. If you try it, I'd be interested to know what happens.

Cheers,
