Top-Level index.md not found if baseurl contains subdirectory

[griestopf]

If you specify the following in your config.toml:

  baseurl = http://mydom.com/subdir

and at the same time specify a menu entry pointing to the top level as shown in the "material" demo

[[menu.main]]
    name   = "Getting Started"
    url    = "/"
    weight = 0

and start hugo server your content will be served to http://localhost/subdir. However, the menu item created with the above [[menu.main]] section points to http://localhost/ (without subdir), where the hugo server just finds a 404.

I tried with url = ".". This got around the 404 but the menu item is not populated with the level2 headlines from the root's index.md.

Any idea?

Hello @griestopf,

for all menu links I used the absURL template function to make all urls absolute by taking the baseurl into account. But the template function seems to have a bug. I've tested it with relURL that makes the menu links relative to the base url. Now, the subdir from which you're serving the site is respected.

Just pull the latest changes.

@digitalcraftsman I have the same or a similar issue. I used a baseUrl with a subdirectory and the menu no longer rendered. This line in nav_link.html

{{ $isCurrent := eq .Permalink ($currentMenuEntry.URL | absURL | printf "%s") }}

sets $isCurrent to false on the main page when it should be true. This is because $currentMenuEntry.URL | absURL = "example.com" while .Permalink ="example.com\subdirectory"

Please help - how can I fix it? Thanks!

(Also, when using a subdirectory the main content on the main page wouldn't render until I added "type: index", not sure if that is related.)

Changing that line from: {{ $isCurrent := eq .Permalink ($currentMenuEntry.URL | absURL | printf "%s") }}

to: {{ $isCurrent := eq .URL ($currentMenuEntry.URL | relURL | printf "%s") }}

Fixes it.
