Wysiwyg adding / in front of link URLs

Hello,
I have a site that requires the use of subdirectories. Within a subdirectory, I have a page that displays something from one of the CMSB records. This record needs to have a link to another page WITHIN that subdirectory.
The trick is, the subdirectory is NOT known at the time of creating the content as it's dynamically created at run-time based on user of the system.
Within the article I'm placing a link to "content-detail.php". When I save it, I get "/content-detail.php" in the window. I don't understand what's causing the link to become absolute even though I am specifying it relative.
I even tried "./content-detail.php" and it changed it to /content-detail.php".
Where is this setting and what do I need to change?
Thanks,
Gary.

Hi Gary,
By default, the WYSIWYG will convert all URLs to be absolute. You can easily change this behaviour by modifying a bit of JavaScript in a PHP file:
Open up cmsAdmin/lib/wysiwyg.php and search for relative_urls. Change this line:
to this:
As suggested by a comment at the top of the file, you can save the file as wysiwyg_custom.php and it will get loaded instead of wysiwyg.php -- and won't get overwritten when you upgrade.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

I also found reference to a settings called "convert_urls" that you can set to true/false that also seems to help. Don't know if it's necessary, but it also doesn't appear to hurt.
Thanks again.
Gary
