NYCPHP Meetup

[Chris French]

Something seems not right about this.

Relative paths are not a joomla thing they are a web thing, putting the
domain in the href isn't only not needed it is not recommended because what
if you change your domain name?

Now this wouldn't be as much of an issue if you were using the juri to
generate but still this is 99% of the time not needed.

You should post the code you were writing and the problem and we can fix it
for you
