7 Wonder(ing)s of FancyURL
I'm chasing after some FancyURL problem that // is appended to the parmalink in some plugins. I was confused to see some plugins need to manually append the blog URL when creating link with createItemLink(), but others is not needed.....
Wondering #2
In createItemLink(), it has the line:
Wondering #3
In NP_Trackback, I saw this:
Wondering #4
All the plugins that is working properly without have to append IndexURL or use the ItemURL hack in Wonder #3 seem to be those with only doSkinVar.... is that CONF['Self'] only function in doSkinVar?
Wondering #5
Given Wonder #1 and #3, should we put the #blog->getURL fix in globalfunctions.php so it's fixed once and for all?
Wondering #6
Is that only me find that there are many places with the Blog's URL too confusing?
Wondering #7

Wondering #1
In globalfunctions.php, I saw this code:
...
...
$CONF['ItemURL'] = $CONF['Self'];
...
...
...
function createItemLink($itemid, $extra = '') {
global $CONF;
if ($CONF['URLMode'] == 'pathinfo')
$link = $CONF['ItemURL'] . '/item/' . $itemid;
else
$link = $CONF['ItemURL'] . '?itemid=' . $itemid;
return addLinkParams($link, $extra);
}
...
...
It seem that some plugins need to manually append IndexURL after calling createItemLink(), due to some problem that $CONF['Self'] is empty.Wondering #2
In createItemLink(), it has the line:
$link = $CONF['ItemURL'] . '/item/' . $itemid;This suggest ItemURL (which I believed is from $CONF['Self'] in fancyurls.config.php... with $CONF['Self'] in index.php set to "." Why?) should be without a trailing "/". Since the FancyURL link alreasy adding a / in front of item/itemid... True? I think the URL in normal need to to trail with /, even through browser can calm with it.
Wondering #3
In NP_Trackback, I saw this:
... ... // a little hack to get a working permanent URL for the item if (!$CONF['ItemURL']) $CONF['ItemURL'] = $blog->getURL(); $url = createItemLink($itemid); ... ...This seem to fix the problem for plugin that need to add IndexURL in front of $url..... to make wonder #1 working properly.
Wondering #4
All the plugins that is working properly without have to append IndexURL or use the ItemURL hack in Wonder #3 seem to be those with only doSkinVar.... is that CONF['Self'] only function in doSkinVar?
Wondering #5
Given Wonder #1 and #3, should we put the #blog->getURL fix in globalfunctions.php so it's fixed once and for all?
Wondering #6
Is that only me find that there are many places with the Blog's URL too confusing?
- $CONF['Self'] in index.php
- $CONF['Self'] in fancyurls.config.php
- Site URL in global setting
- (Blog) URL in blog setting
- Some plugin cans even access $CONF['IndexURL']
