[SOLVED] CakePHP HTMLHelper for Scripts uses extra param in URL causing scripts not to load

CakePHP HTMLHelper for Scripts uses extra param in URL causing scripts not to load

For our project we've been using a lot of subdomains, but for one particular section we just use a redirect that sends the user of a specific type from the normal dashboard at /dashboard to /manager/dashboard.

This has been in place for months and works, but now in an element within our view we're trying to load some scripts using the HTMLHelper, but it's appending the /manager to the URL.

How can I have it just access the webroot version at

/js/path

instead of

/manager/js/path

using a generic element that is used throughout our application in different subdomains like it doesn't now (with the exception of /manager/*?

Solution

Try adding

Configure::write('App.jsBaseUrl','js/');

to your bootstrap.php file.

Alternatively, if you provide the full path to the .js file (starting with a leading /), CakePHP will ignore whatever App.jsBaseUrl holds, and will render the correct path.
