When putting in a link from one part of a moodle site to another, it is easy enough to do by copying the address line of the target page.
However, this address will be absolute, which is fine until you have to move the site to another server or similar.
Is there anyway to construct these links such that they are all relative to the site?
Just use everything after the DNS name:
<a href="/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=1131">link</a>
You just have to be sure that
http://oldsite.com/ --> http://newsite.com/
or
http://oldsite.com/moodle --> http://newsite.com/moodle
but not:
http://oldsite.com/moodle --> http://newsite.com/mycourses
<a href="/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=1131">link</a>
