Coding Creating links that don't break

[Icewolf 258]

I recently moved my domain to the host I use for my personal website projects. I don't think I'll be moving my icyboards over to there because I like the support too much when things go wrong and I don't think I'd be able to handle any problems that arise if I actually moved the board, but this means that my links on the forum have broken and I know that there is a way of doing links in the html template that means that the links work, no matter what the url is, but I'm not that familiar with the tags so I need some help finding out what they are. (and, can these tags also be used in bbcode?)

What you are talking about, I think, are relative URLs which really doesn't work if they aren't actually relative.

 

By that I mean you'd put in:

/images/pic.png

 

What that will do is search the root folder into images for pic.png. Unfortunately that only works if the image exists in the same domain. For example: rpginit.com and rpginit.com/forums

 

This doesn't sound like what is happening here.

No it's not that. There are tags that you can use to link to individual threads or boards and they are in these brackets {$[]} (I think - I don't know the right terminology for them. I have used something like that when I modified the post bit and the post bit ones look something like this <a href="{$post['fid6']}">.

Ahh, those. I don't know about that within MyBB, perhaps @Josie or @Kit the Human does?

Curly bracket things are variables!

 

Are you looking for {$mybb->settings['bburl']} ?

 

That should spit out whatever URL you've put into Board Settings » Site Details >> Board URL

 

It doesn't work for me in posts, I thought maybe a custom mycode could give you a work around, but no luck.
