WordPress resolves paths relative to the WordPress site root. In most cases the WordPress site root and domain root are the same, but in other cases wordpress is installed in a subpath. For example, a wordpress site may exist at http://<mydomain>/wordpress which would cause the wordpress site root (/wordpress/) to be different than the domain root (always /).

To allow references outside of the wordpress site root, paths referenced by the IntraWeb WordPress are resolved in the following manner with few exceptions.

If a url begins with:

• / –  relative to the domain root
• http:// or https:// – absolute URL
• other – relative to WordPress site root.

Expansion Paths

If a path starts with ~, it will be treated as an expansion path. Several predefined expansion paths must be defined in config.php, but user defined ones can also exist.

For example, given the path:

~IWLib\Loader.js

~IWLib will be replaced with the value specified in config.php for IWLib resulting in something such as:

/IW17/IntraWeb/Loader.js

Expansion paths are processed before other merges and can be further merged.
