[opencms-dev] link issue in OpenCms 8.0.1

[Michael Emmerich]

Raghu,

for performance reasons, OpenCms automatically exports binary files 
(images, pdf, office docs) when being in the ONLINE project.

So if your file is stored in the VFS at "/IN/hotel/TajHotel.pdf", the 
URL for it will be (in a default OpenCms installation)

Offline: http://[servername]/opencms/opencms/IN/hotel/TajHotel.pdf
Online: 
http://[servername]/opencms/export/sites/default/IN/hotel/TajHotel.pdf

It is required that you use the <cms:link> tag in every link you program 
in your JSPs, so that OpenCms can modify the links correctly.

So every link in a jsp should be like

<a href="<cms_link>some_link_in_opencms</cms:link>">Link</a>

and NOT

<a href="some_link_in_opencms">Link</a>

If you do not want to have binary files exported, you can set the 
"export" property on those files (or the parent folder) to "false"


Kind Regards,
Michael.
