[...] I know this outs me as the world’s nerdiest sometimes-web-page-editor, but my preferred environment lately for managing my sites has been Xcode. I can easily do global search/replace, configure Safari as an executable, etc. I wrote about this weird behavior of mine specifically with regard to WordPress in a past entry. [...]

WP 2.4 fixed this problem?

I finally noticed a downside: in the auto-generated emails from WordPress, it seems to build URLs by just tacking on to the configuration URLs. So you’ll end up with broken, unclickable URLs in those emails. Some day I’ll look into how hard it would be to adjust that.

dvb: i looked into this a little further and discovered something very interesting. It looks like you can specify a relative path in the “WordPress Address” and “Blog Address” settings. I am still testing this to make sure nothing goes wrong, but so far it’s looking pretty good! On my test servers all of the URls that are generated using those settings seem to work, and best of all the wp-admin panel “sticks to the test server” and doesn’t jump out to the main URL.

Give it a try at your own risk :)

dvb: I think this is coming from a couple of DB-resident settings from the “Options” panel in your admin panel. The “WordPress Address” and “Blog Address” settings are stored in the database instead of being implied by the install path. I’m really not too fmailiar with these settings but I wonder if there is a tricky way to change them so they’re relative instead of absolute URIs.
