[Zope] SiteRoot <base...> problem

Tue, 20 Aug 2002 09:55:23 -0400

Eric,

The <base> tag insertion is not a side effect of VHM, it's Zope's
doing.  I believe if you manually construct your URLs to "folderish"
things with a slash at the end of them e.g. "/some/folder/" instead
of "/some/folder", you will not see the base tag.

Alternately, you could write a small Access Rule which detects
whether the "published" object is a Folderish object
(object.isPrincipiaFolderish usually does the trick) and if the URL
doesn't end in a slash redirects the user's browser to one that
does.
