CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hey there,

I've got a civiCRM site that is close to launch and at the moment I am reviewing it on a long temporary url that was created in a PLesk control panel. The format is as follows http://website-domain.com.ip-address.example.com/

Everything is working quite well except that in a view I created for listing events is setting the root path incorrectly. The root path for the link text that directs to the events and registration pages is the actual domain name that the site will eventually be hosted at.

ie, I get: http://website-domain.com/event/info?id=8&reset=1
When it should be: http://website-domain.com.ip-address.example.com/event/info?id=8&reset=1

It is only the civiCRM Event views that are being affected this way. If I go to the Event control panel in civiCRM, the links are correct. All of my resource URLs are correct in manage -> system -> resource URLs and I've been looking for somewhere else I can change this but so far I can't find anything. Does anyone know where this can be set or changed?

Thanks,
Andrew

EDIT: The built in civiCRM Event listing also provides the incorrect URL.

Drupal 7
civiCRM 4.1.x

Hi Hershel,

I want to change it temporarily so that I can use it to proof with my client. Currently the only way to see the events is to go to the civiCRM Event management screen and then click the links. For some reason on the Drupal side all of the root paths are set to the "real" domain name, not where it actually resides.

BTW, I know how I did this... Thinking that I was being clever, when I set up Drupal/civiCRM on my server, I edited my desktop's host file to associate the IP of my VPS to the domain name. My thinking was that I could set up everything as if it were on the real domain and do all my testing before throwing the DNS switch. I think as a result, during setup civiCRM added a piece of data somewhere indicating that the path should be the "real" domain from my browser's address.

Worst case scenario, I'll create a views template and regex to swap one for the other.

You looked in settings.php and in civicrm.settings.php to confirm the base URL?

Thanks Hershel, you nailed it... I don't know how I didn't see it in my civicrm.settings file when I checked it the other day. I just downloaded it again (prompted by your comment) and there it is.

Thanks so much!

Andrew
