Move all Files to Using Relative Links? #57

Closed cycomachead closed 10 years ago

cycomachead commented 10 years ago

I've been experimenting with hosting the labs from other domains / locations.

There's two issues, one easy and one more tricky.

  1. The "rootUrl" needs to be changed, but this is only two locations.
  2. The real big issue is that in many place in *.topic files, URLs start with "/bjc-r"

Would it make sense to make these URLs more relative? I wouldn't do the whole repo at once but it could be something that's done in a few chunks.

Well, we decided to go absolute originally to make it easy to move curriculum around inside the cur directory.

For the problems you list above: 1) is by design -- this is good. 2) we could and should fix this -- there is no need to spec /bjc-r in the .topic files, since javascript could add the rootUrl in.

But, (3) is the big problem -- every link in /cur/ has "bjc-r" in it. I guess I don't mind relative links, although my editor doesn't deal with them well (I think dreamweaver does, fwiw). But maybe there is a javascript solution where every link in /cur/ has 'rootUrl' prepended? I don't know if that would be prone to failure (if javascript isn't enabled, etc). I'm happy to think about this more.

Did we ever come to a better conclusion with this and LLAB?

Peter is making an executive decision: close this. We accept diversity in link structure.
