Thread: How to I create a dynamic path to use a link embedded in a cfinclude template?

Hi,

I have a template named "getlogin.cfm" which i use at the top of every single one of my site pages using the cfinclude tag. Inside this "getlogin.cfm" template, I have placed a link to get to the main page of my site called "index.cfm" which is in the root folder.

The problem is that I cannot hard code the URL of the link inside the "getlogin.cfm" template because if I called the link from the "getlogin.cfm" template that has been embedded in pages that are stored in different folders it will not path correctly to the index.cfm page, giving me a file not found error.

The question I am asking you kind folks is, how am I able to create a link inside a template which is used in a cfinclude tag that will be able to path correctly no matter where the cfinclude template is used?

That should only be a problem if you are using relative paths. An absolute path from the root "/" will always work.
