Omit site site in returned result when using getPath in Plone page templates

Question

I have a piece of TALES for a page template in Plone which looks through the results of a collection and inserts them into a box (similar to that of a collection portlet)

I have an issue in getting a URL from the returned items, I have been using getPath however it returns the site name, so my URLS end up being http://mysite.com/ThePloneSite/folder/page instead of just http://mysite.com/folder/page, currently my example TALES is as follows:

<a tal:attributes="href string:${item/getPath}/view">Item</a>

I have tried every variation I can imagine but I can't remember them all so here's a couple that don't work:

(this returns nothing)

<a tal:attributes="href item/absolute_url">Item</a>

this gives me a traceback, complaining about "getpath":

<a tal:attributes="python:item.getObject().absolute_url()">Item</a>

The only reason the site name being in the link is annoying is that in order to access the "State" and "Display" buttons you must click "View" after originally clicking on the link

NOTE: the last example works when you're using getFolderContents however I understand returning results from a collection are different.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

EDIT Traceback for absolute version:

NOTE found a link http://copilotco.com/mail-archives/plone-users.2007/msg05113.html which may help but haven't had a chance to look at it just yet.

Answer 1

If item is a catalog brain (as in your example) you need to call item/getURL. absolute_url is for real objects.
