How to handle this?
I used the following code in the base page layout template to get the
site name from the URL
<body tal:define="
rootURL request/getApplicationURL;
fullURL request/getURL;
effURL python: fullURL[len(rootURL)+1:].split('/');">
<span tal:condition="python: len(effURL) > 1">
<span tal:define="global urlPrefix python: effURL[0]"
tal:replace="nothing"/>
</span>
<span tal:condition="python: len(effURL) <= 1">
<span tal:define="global urlPrefix python: ''"
tal:replace="nothing"/>
</span>
...
</body>
I prefix all my menu links with the 'urlPrefix' variable. I guess this
is not the best solution but it solves my problem.
Thanks
