So I have my site backed up to gitlab.com
I ssh into my server and pull
I git bash into my local and pull/push
...issue I'm having... w/ hardcoded links to admin from catalog side.... a href"=http://www.mysite.com/etc" to "http://localhost"
Is there an easy way change the paths w/ a DIR_ constant or something like that?
Thanks for your help in advance,
b

Re: Moving from live server to localhost issues part 2
Well, don't use hard-coded links to reference material on your own site is the first thing. All links should either be entered as relative to the current location or via the Zen Cart php function zen_href_link found in includes/functions/html_output.php.
The base link is provided in the typical <head></head> area of the page. Whatever needs to be reached from that point is the hard-coded link necessary. So to reach the etc folder: <a href="etc"ZC Installation/Maintenance Support <- Site

No. The non-admin side has zero visibility into where the actual admin directory is.

Re: Moving from live server to localhost issues part 2
Again, the front-end knows nothing of the admin.
If you want to add an Admin link onto your front-end somewhere, and since YOU do already know the URL of your Admin, just code it directly into your template wherever you want it to be displayed..

Re: Moving from live server to localhost issues part 2
Ok thanks, maybe one day I can do something fancier to make it more secure. I'm creating an if no image file, upload file/camera button on the front end. Goal is to swipe through products w/ hammerjs, jquery toggle stock status (if I don't actually have the product), if I do, upload photos w/ auto deletion of background/masking from front end (maybe imagemagick lib?) (w/ automatic naming of the picture from the product model sku (adding .jpg). Originally Posted by DrByte

Re: Moving from live server to localhost issues part 2
What though is the need for the catalog to reach the admin? Meaning, what is in the admin side that can't be performed/done from the catalog side to achieve whatever it is that is desired? From this latest description, I don't see anything that requires the admin side...

Re: Moving from live server to localhost issues part 2
You could build all that with an admin-side page too. No need for doing it on the non-admin front-end at all. Originally Posted by wolfderby

MC's earlier point
> Well, don't use hard-coded links to reference material on your own site is the first thing.
deserves emphasis. But using only relative URLs, you will allow yourself to easily move the cart, set up test sites, change the domain name, etc.
