Base Href

Is it possible to turn off the <base href=http://www.mydomain.com> statement that gets inserted by vBSEO?

I am trying to set up a mobile version of my forum on a subdomain m.mydomain.com using the mobile detection and mobile style:
Mobile, Cell, Phone, PDA, iPhone Style - vBulletin.org Forum

However, it appears that vbseo is preventing this by adding the base href at the top of the page and sending visitors back to the main version of the site.

If you have "Include Domain Name in URLs" option enabled in vBSEO CP, it should work correctly without it. Try to modify functions_vbseo.php file:
find:

PHP Code:


if(

VBSEO_BASEDEPTH &&

defined('VBSEO_PREPROCESSED')

)

replace with:

PHP Code:


if(0)

Thanks. That works for the mobile subdomain, but now damages the css and image links for the main site. The CSS linked files no longer work and some images fail to load (but not all of them).

It looks a bit messy. Is there a way to fix this without going through and modifying all of the templates?

I have done a temporary bodge by replacing the line after the if clause with:

Code:

$myDomain = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$newtext = preg_replace('#<head>#i', "$0\n".'<base href="'.$myDomain.(defined('VBSEO_BASE_URL')?VBSEO_BASE_URL:'').'/" />', $newtext, 1);

That seems to work perfectly now.

You can use this code to exclude <base> for mobile domain only.

PHP Code:


if(
VBSEO_BASEDEPTH &&
defined('VBSEO_PREPROCESSED')
&& ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'm.mydomain.com')
)

Edit: I'm glad it works for you now.

A minor alteration required. I forgot the 'http://' before the domain, so it works in IE but not Firefox.

Code:

$myDomain = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$newtext = preg_replace('#<head>#i', "$0\n".'<base href="http://&#39;.$myDomain.(defined(&#39;VBSEO_B...;&#39;).&#39;/" />', $newtext, 1);

Hi Oleg is there an update for this work around for vBSEO 3.3.2 ? Thanks

**Oleg Ignatiuk** · 11-29-2009 01:01 PM

The same modification should be working.

**Rukas** · 01-18-2010 09:01 PM

Is there anyway to have this work but still have "Include Domain Name in URLs" turned on?

Hey Oleg...

I am using this code in the latest includes/functions_vbseo.php

Code:

if($url[0]=='#')
{
return
$preurl .
( (VBSEO_BASEDEPTH && defined('VBSEO_PREPROCESSED') && $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'm.xxxxxxxx.net') ? htmlspecialchars(VBSEO_REQURL_FULL) : '' ).
$url . $posturl . $intag . $closetag
;
}

Everything looks totally perfect, but I am still getting the base href coming through to screw it all up :(

Any ideas? (3.5.0)

**rob** · 06-07-2010 12:50 PM

scrap that.... I was being rather stupid indeed

**rob** · 06-07-2010 01:04 PM

I've used Oleg's suggestion and also swissbob's too.
No base href is added on the homepage, but for all other pages, a base url appears.

I dunno how to fix this issue... any ideas?

**rob** · 06-07-2010 01:29 PM

It now dawns on me that you moved your file structure in 3.5.0... grrrr.

All fixed n sorted now and feel free to tidy this thread up..

**Oleg Ignatiuk** · 06-07-2010 04:52 PM

Glad you got it working
