Phalcon\Tag::linkTo URL not containing the subfolder where the project lives

Question

I am following the tutorial on OS X 10.8 with PHP 5.3, phalcon 0.5.0. I have a folder called tutorial in the web root of my apache. When I use the code:

echo Phalcon\Tag::linkTo("signup", "Sign Up Here!");

In the output html I am getting

localhost/signup 

instead of

localhost/tutorial/signup

I also entered RewriteBase /tutorial/ in my .htacess file, but still having the same problem. I had the same issue in 0.4 of phalcon and also in 0.5

Answer 1

The URL rewrite will need to be registered in the DI container of your project during bootstrap as such (file public/index.php)

// Setting up the view component
$di->set(
    'url', 
    function() {
        $url = new \Phalcon\Mvc\Url();
        $url->setBaseUri('/tutorial/');
        return $url;
    }
);

This will effectively instruct Phalcon to use the subfolder internally as well as the \Phalcon\Tag::linkTo() function. Please note the ending slash "/" character in the setBaseUri()
