This is part of a content management system in which I allow my users to upload images and files and create links to internal pages using tinyMCE. The problem is that I have to fix the paths for much of the stuff that they are uploading/linking to because tinyMCE creates the links to images and files uploaded starting with ../../app/webroot -- and obviously that has to change because those links won't work. If I change the way tinyMCE does the links, then the assets won't appear correctly in the WYSIWYG editor.
So - I wrote a helper to fix all the paths, basically replacing ../../app/webroot where appropriate, and that helper uses the Html helper to ensure that the links to images, files, and other links to internal pages of the site have the correct path every time. However that path fixing, IMO, should be part of the business logic and not part of the views. I don't want to call my path fixer every time I output user-submitted content in the view. I would rather prepare all the user-submitted content before sending it to the view, because then I can put it in a loop and not have a million calls to the path-fixing method scattered throughout the view code. I'm faced with basically writing my own version of the Html->link and Html->image methods that can be used in a component, which I really don't want to do, unless someone here has any other ideas. -Rosie On Jan 17, 12:46 pm, "John David Anderson (_psychic_)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Is there a reason you're not just making the links in the views? -- John
