Hello,

I am quite new to web programming in general, so maybe I am missing something :)

According to the F3 documentation abut system variables:

BASE
Type: string, Read-only Default: auto-detected
Path to the index.php main/front controller.

So, I have created a template page like this:

<html lang="en">
<head>

<link rel="icon" href="{{ @BASE }}/app/images/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ @BASE }}/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ @BASE }}/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ @BASE }}/css/theme-cfm.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ @BASE }}/css/jquery-ui.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ @BASE }}/css/bootstrap-confirm-delete.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ @BASE }}/css/calendar.css">

<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ @BASE }}/js/jquery-3.2.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ @BASE }}/js/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ @BASE }}/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ @BASE }}/js/bootstrap-confirm-delete.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ @BASE }}/js/utils.js"></script>

</head>
<body>

<div class="container theme-showcase" role="main">
<a href="{{ @BASE }}"><img src="{{ @BASE }}/app/images/mylogo.png" alt="Home" height="60"></a>
</div>

<include href="{{ @content }}" />

<br />
<br />

</body>
</html>

And I set the content in function of the actions I take.

Everything works fine, I have the images displayed in every page, the CSSs and JavaScripts (Bootstrap, Jquery) available on every page.

However, I was expecting that the link on the image mylogo.png to be the same on every single page, pointing to my virtual host main page: http://calendar:8080.

Instead, it points to the curent page each time, for example http://calendar:8080/calendar/12.

The route.cfg file is:

[routes]
GET / = GlobalController->overview
GET /calendar/@id = GlobalController->calendar

The .htacces file:

# Enable rewrite engine and route requests to framework
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require you to specify the `RewriteBase` directive
# In such cases, it should be the path (relative to the document root)
# containing this .htaccess file
#
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(tmp)\/|\.ini$ - [R=404]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]

And the index.php (situated at the root of my structure):

<?php

$f3=require('lib/base.php');

if ((float)PCRE_VERSION<7.9)
trigger_error('PCRE version is out of date');

// Load configuration
$f3->config('config/config.cfg');
$f3->config('config/routes.cfg');

$f3->run();

?>

Currently I am developing on Windows 10x64, WAMP Server 3.1.6, Apache Version 2.4.33, PHP Version: 7.0.33 (I have tried with 7.2.13 as well) and F3 version 3.6.4.

So, my question is again: what am I missing?

Thank you in advance for your help!

That’s very strange. Is the template code above a direct copy of your template? If not can you copy and paste the relevant section?

On second thought, this is normal browser behavior if the href (and henc BASE) is empty. Can you try

href=“{{ @BASE }}/“
Note the trailing slash.

P.S. BASE does not include the domain. If you want the domain in the link you can use HOST or hard code it.

href=“//{{ @HOST }}/{{ @BASE }}”
