ModX friendly url has a bad format

Question

Sorry, this is probably a very basic question, but I'm new to ModX and haven't been able to find an answer.

I am trying to get friendly urls working, but right now, all my urls are showing up like

http://localhost/modx/modx-2.2.13-pl/"http://localhost/modx/modx-2.2.13-pl/other.html

instead of the expected

http://localhost/modx/modx-2.2.13-pl/other.html

I probably don't have some system setting set correctly; any help would be greatly appreciated...

Answer 1

Sounds like you've forgotten to add

<base href="[[++site_url]]" />

To your head.

At least that is the first thing that comes to mind.

Answer 2

Sounds like you're generating the links with full path, are you doing them yourselves or is it Wayfinder or some snippet? And why do you have a " there in the middle of the string?

The basic idea is to use a base_href consisting of your root, http://localhost/modx/modx-2.2.13-pl/, and then construct links like [[~[[+idToPageYouWantToLink]]]].
