Description

This bug is tied to http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=1964&trackerId=5&show=view

I have had various issues navigating my wiki seemingly because $base_url is not getting built correctly, or at all. The first of these issues happens at login where the user puts in a bad username or password. The redirect to the error page fails on Firefox and has a URL with doubled forward slashes after the domain because the $base_url is not getting passed. URLs get built as follows (where 'example.com' is my domain):

Firefox:

Image
Copy to clipboard
http://example.com\/tiki-error.php?error=Invalid+username


IE:

Image
Copy to clipboard
http://example.com//tiki-error.php?error=Invalid+username


This happens with relative URLs all over tikiwiki in my installation, which is a WAMP with virtualHost entries in the httpd.conf to resolve 2 distict domains on the same server.

Solution
I fixed this in branch 5.x. Tiki 5.0 should be OK. Thank you mitchp.
Workaround

So far the only partial solution I have found is to add the $base_url declaration to the template page header, like so:

Image
Copy to clipboard
<script>
        function define_baseurl() {
             $base_url = "http://example.com"}
    </script>


This is a partial solution as it does not resolve issues where I add RSS feeds via a module to a page (as these apparently get built with relative rather than absolute URLs).
