Google Auth doesn't work with ApprootRelative

[Hugo Gomes]

Hi,

I noticed that Google auth isn't working when approot = ApprootRelative, is this intended ?

Is it possible to set ApprootRelative to only some routes ?

Thanks

This is a known issue. If you look at the comments on `approot`[1], it says that the ApprootRelative default is valid if:

> You do not use any features that require absolute URLs, such as Atom feeds and XML sitemaps.

OpenID is another feature (by design of the standard) that requires absolute URLs, which is why it won't work. Same goes for BrowserID.

Thanks,

i got it working by letting appRoot set as appRoot = ApprootMaster $ appRoot . settings

and then specifying relative urls for the routes i wanted to be always relative in urlRenderOverride, like this:

urlRenderOverride y r@(ProfileMainR _) = Just $ relativeUrl y r
urlRenderOverride y r@(OtherRouteR _) = Just $ relativeUrl y r
urlRenderOverride _ _ = Nothing

where relativeUrl is:
relativeUrl :: forall a a1. (RenderRoute a1, Yesod a)
            => a
            -> Route a1
            -> Blaze.ByteString.Builder.Internal.Builder
relativeUrl y r = uncurry (joinPath y "") $ renderRoute r

Thanks :)
