My b2evolution Version: 1.9.x

I began with version 1.8.6, and tweaked the "Custom" skin so it blended better with my site [url=http://cobaltwolf.us/cobaltblog//index.php/a]here[/url]. The relative link used then for, say, the main header was like this:

../../../images/cwdesignlogo_2icon.png

...and the script could find the image (as well as the relative links used on the left-side menu) without any problem.

Today I upgraded to 1.9.2. It was a painless process (mainly because my hosting service uses Fantastico) except for this: the images disappeared and the links on my menu appeared as if those pages were in the folder where b2evo was installed.

I pulled my hair for a while since, according to the little HTML that I know, there was no reason why those relative links shouldn't work. 8|

I then found [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=4638&highlight=relative+links]this post[/url], which suggested I should use something like this instead:

/images/cwdesignlogo_2icon.png

And, voila, the page is back the way it was.

:?: The question is then: what changed in 1.9.2 that made the original relative links useless. I'm just curious.

crack open conf/_basic.config.php and check that the value you have for $baseurl doesn't have 2 /'s at the end ;)

Darn, I hate to unearth old posts, but I completely forgot to say thanks for the advice given. Awfully belated apologies :-P
