I have written my own blog let’s say at example.com. I’ m trying to use footnotes for my posts. So I have a post at the address:
http://www.example.com/blog/2012/04/post-slug
I use this code for the footnotes (produced by markdown-extra):
<p>That's some text with a footnote.<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup></p>
<div class="footnotes">
<hr />
<ol>
<li id="fn:1">
<p>And that's the footnote. <a href="#fnref:1" rev="footnote">↩</a></p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
This code is saved in the database as the post’s body.
The problem is that when I point to the browser to the post and click the links they point to the home page of my site like this:
http://www.example.com/#fnref:1
and
http://www.example.com/#fn:1
Instead of the correct:
http://www.example.com/blog/2012/04/post-slug#fnref:1
And
http://www.example.com/blog/2012/04/post-slug#fn:1
respectively.
That is they don’t take in mind the part of the URL
/blog/2012/04/post-slug
They "think" they are in the home page for some reason. In Codeigniter I have chosen not to include index.php in the URL. And of course I have some routing definition in the routes.php file. I cant’ figure out why this problem occurs. Maybe it has to do with routing. I have tried all the available options in the config.php file:
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
(PATH_INFO etc) but didn’t help.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
CI always behaves as it's in the root this because that's where its index.php file is located and all the controllers/methods are called from there. To solve your case, I'd suggest you add a path to your href attribute, or use base, like Zenbait said.
