Well if you look at this code:

<input size="40" id="video_link" name="video_link" type="text" value='/videos.php?id={$video[video].id}'>

You see the /videos.php?id={$video[video].id}

is it possible to put a code infront of it so it adds the website url to it?

I can't seem to understand.

Thanks.

Sure, but not recommended, makes your site less flexible.

But you can put your site URL in a variable, pass it to the template.

code:

---

$smarty->assign ("url", http://www.example.com");

---

And call it.

code:

---

<input size="40" id="video_link" name="video_link" type="text" value='{url}/videos.php?id={$video[video].id}'>

I mean  so what ever URL the site viewed it is that's what will be added. Is that your code?

In that case just don't change anything.

Just using /videos.php?id={$video[video].id} will already point users to "example.com/videos.php?id={$video[video].id}" or "somethingelse.example.com/videos.php?id={$video[video].id}" depending on which url your users use to access you site. In most cases there is no reason to prefix the domain in the code.

Maybe i'm not understanding your question?

I know that will still work but that code output's a URL to a webpage so it can be /videos.php... it will have to be http://example.com/videos.php?...

Understand?

Thanks!

That's exactly what it would be, unless you wish to redirect the user to a diffrent place. In such an event, MenthiX just told you.

but i need it to work no matter were its at so i don't have to edit the code and chnage the url..

Judging by what you pasted it will/should work no matter where it's at without changing any code. If it doesn't, link us to the page where the problem is so we can see what you mean.

$smarty->assign ("url", http://www.example.com");

Will that code no output http://www.example.com instead of my URL?
