[Typo3-dev] absolute or relative path?

[Martinov Evgeniy]

Hi, everyone,

my extension is meant to publish references to uploaded pdf files 
automatically, then I use indexed_search to index these pages and as a 
consiquence external files too.

I upload files to the directory under fileadmin/mydirectory/
then I create new page with corresponding content element I use CType: html 
and in bodytext I place such code for the reference to apear on the page:
<a href="fileadmin/mydirectory/myfile.pdf">myfile.pdf</a>
here I use relative path to the TYPO3_DOCUMENT_ROOT

The problem is that under windows this works perfectly and indexed_search 
indexes this external file by this reference.

But in linux there is difference when page is generated. TYPO3, instead of 
using my bodytext as is, changes href attribute inside my tag to this:
<a href="/fileadmin/mydirectory/myfile.pdf">myfile.pdf</a>
and adds first slash! in tt_content table I have string without first slash!

Indexed_search cannot index this reference cause it intreprets such 
reference not as relative but as absolute path to the file.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

thank you in advance,
Evgeniy
