Sorry if this has been posted already... I did look before posting and couldn't find anything!

I'm building a MODx site and I'm using the dropmenu snippet for horizontal dropdowns.
The problem i'm getting is a strnge directory rebuild from all the sub pages on the site.
The homepage works ok (all the link go to the correct pages)

http://www.vitalized.co.uk/

But when I navigate to the page below all the links in the drop menu use the current directory as the root

http://www.vitalized.co.uk/web-design-development/modx-web-hosting.htm

If you hoover over the "HOME" button from the above URL it goes to:
http://www.vitalized.co.uk/web-design-development/index.htm

Instead of
http://www.vitalized.co.uk/index.htm


This strange thing is the directory structure appears correctly if I use the defualt modx template which just uses: [[DropMenu]] in the side bar.


The calls I've used on the drop menu are:

[[DropMenu? &startDoc=`0` &levelLimit=`2` &here=`activeLink` &topdiv=`1` &topdivClass=`nav`]]
[!DropMenu? &startDoc=`0` &levelLimit=`2` &here=`activeLink` &topdiv=`1` &topdivClass=`nav`!]
[[DropMenu]]
[[DropMenu? &startDoc=[*grandparent*]  &levelLimit=`2`]]
[[DropMenu? &startDoc=[*parent*]  &levelLimit=`2`]]

None do the trick!

Hope this makes sense to someone out there!!!!

Do you have friendly alias paths enabled?

[Vitalized]

Yes I do

The settings are:

Use friendly URLs: yes
Prefix for friendly URLs: blank
Suffix for friendly URLs: blank
Use friendly aliases: yes
Use friendly alias path: yes
Allow duplicate aliases: yes
Automatically generate alias: no

As I said before dropmenu seems to work ok in the default MODx template:

Thanks for your help

I think I've solved it!

By using

Code:

<base href="[(site_url)]" />

in the head it seems to have solved my problem.
