I’m using PerchCMS and Freeway. To the most part this works OK handled pretty much in Freeway keeping your mind map in one place.

However I’ve found a gotcha here and there. Perch assumes you use root relative links /mylink.php and Freeway creates …/file for pages in sub-folders

For example the Perch blog preview creates a URL domain/blog/preview another folder down in the URL breaking the blog page preview. OK the tail is starting to wag the dog a bit here. I could copy the Resources and CSS folder into the blog folder to fix that, then make absolute/external links in the CCS menu and other page links. Or just edit the Freeway produced page code on the server.

Just seeing if there’s a way of changing these relative links to root links on pages a neater way than this?
