Slash or no slash?

Ruby Apps Radiant CMS
1

HI, I’m a bit confused about something simple… in general, Radiant
pages are served up as:
page/pg/123/ (with a slash)
but it also renders the same if I go to
page/pg/123 (without a slash)

In general, it doesn’t matter. But, I’ve got pages that have a lot of
relative links between them (inserted into the HTML directly). So, I
have a relative link to …/124 but the actual position of what it
references matters… depending on whether the current URL/ page is
rendered is
page/pg/123/ (with a slash)
or
page/pg/123 (without a slash)

Any ideas on what I can do?

Cheers,
Mohit.

Where are my manners!? (it’s 3 AM) - I meant to add thanks for your
help and sorry for being a bother this week…

Mohit,

The best answer I can give is to configure your webserver so that it
redirects requests not ending in a slash to their slash equivalents, or
vice versa (there are HOWTOs for Apache).

There was quite a bit of descussion in this post:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/111522

I don’t think anything was done to implement the auto-redirect within
Radiant as discussed (though I’d still like to see it). I think most
are configuring their servers to do the redirect.

D’oh. Sean beat me to it (as usual).

Oh and I meant ‘discussion’ :wink:

Thanks Chris & Sean,

I’ve added that to my TODO list now. This does bring up another
question, how are anchors handled?
Page with slash, without slash or doesn’t matter?

Cheers,
Mohit.
