[opencms-dev] disappearing navigation (get)

[Manfred Pruntsch]

Hi all,

I play with a testsite on opencms 4.5.35. This testsite is represented
in the explorer view (vfs) by three folders and one html file under the
root.
The structure looks like this:
root             --> indexH.html
  + content
  + categoryA    --> indexA.html
  + categoryB    --> indexB.html
  + categoryC    --> indexC.html
  a.s.o

The mastertemplate (one for all pages) contains a page dividing table and
three navigation
elements:

<ELEMENTDEF name="nav">
  <CLASS>com.opencms.defaults.CmsXmlNav</CLASS>
  <TEMPLATE>/content/internal/navigation</TEMPLATE>
</ELEMENTDEF>
<ELEMENTDEF name="navfoot">
  <CLASS>com.opencms.defaults.CmsXmlNav</CLASS>
  <TEMPLATE>/content/internal/navigationfoot</TEMPLATE>
</ELEMENTDEF>
<ELEMENTDEF name="navstatus">
  <CLASS>com.opencms.defaults.CmsXmlNav</CLASS>
  <TEMPLATE>/content/internal/navstatus</TEMPLATE>
</ELEMENTDEF>

The navigation files in /content/internal/ were created according the
dev-documentation (chapter 1.3.2 The default navigation class...;
getNavCurrent) except the last
'navstatus' element definition. This definition builds a user status info
(here am I) over
the 'getNavTree' method.

On the start-page (indexH) all navigation work very fine.
But on the pages in the subfolders (categoryA for example, indexA) the
navigation 'nav' and 'navfoot' are disappearing.
But surprisingly the 'navstatus' navigation work further fine.
My questions are:
Do I need a relative url to my navigation file like
this: '../content/internal/navstatus' or will the absolute
url work in every case independent from the invocation place?
What else can happens? Whats going wrong in my files?

Another problem I have is the disappearing of an image.
It is the same thing like above I guess. On the page indexH (direct under
the root)
I can see the image. But on the pages in the subfolders the image disappear.
The image tag looks so: <img src="pics/images/Computerchips.jpg">.
If I try <img src="/pics/images/Computerchips.jpg"> the image will be never
shown.
Any ideas?

with kindly regards
Manfred
