MODx Relative Links Broken

I was having a lot of trouble getting relative links working in MODx. As soon as I made a container and put some pages one level above the root, nothing was linking correctly. Lots of missing images and broken links.

StingyB's answer is correct. This tag should be in the head section of all MODX templates:

`<base href="[[++site_url]]" />`

Note that if you have multiple front-end contexts, the placeholder should be uncached:

`<base href="[[!++site_url]]" />`

Also, it must be a short tag. This will not work:

`<base href="[[!++site_url]]"></base>`

I'm not sure where comment about "breaking all links linking to content identifiers" is coming from. These tags are standard in all MODX installs.

NOTE: This fix apparently will break all links linking to content identifiers.

I fixed it by putting the following at the top of the web template:

<base href="[[++site_url]]" />

You have to use that. If you hardcode it, it will screw up depending on which protocol you use, http or https.
