Dynamic, Programmatic, Runtime BaseHref

Hi, I've been going round in circles on this all day (searching, try/test/debuging) so thought at least I'd ask..

I want to change the BaseHref I have set in my fckconfig.js at runtime. I've tried the following things without any luck.

FCK.Config.BaseHref = document.location.protocol+'//'+document.location.host+'/RealiseIT/AuthoringTool/userfiles/'+FCK.sUserName+'/'+sPackageName+'/'+'file/' ;

FCK.Config["BaseHref"] = document.location.protocol+'//'+document.location.host+'/RealiseIT/AuthoringTool/userfiles/Frank/hugot/file/' ;

This next attempt gets the BaseHref of the main document and changes it.. I'm sure now (pretty sure anyway) that the relevant bashref is the EditorDocument's so I tried that next.

$('base').each( function() { 
  $(this).attr('href', document.location.protocol+'//'+document.location.host+'/RealiseIT/AuthoringTool/userfiles/'+FCK.sUserName+'/'+sPackageName+'/'+'file/'); 
} );

$(FCK.EditorDocument).find('base').each( function() { 
  $(this).attr('href', document.location.protocol+'//'+document.location.host+'/RealiseIT/AuthoringTool/userfiles/'+FCK.sUserName+'/'+sPackageName+'/'+'file/'); 
} );

bit of jQuery in there so if anyone wants DOM version let me know..

Now I'm thinking I'll need to do a post back. Can anyone verify this for me.

The steps are: change it to a fixed value, verify that it works as expected and then try to do it dinamically.
If you mix everything at once it will be much harder for you.

Re: Dynamic, Programmatic, Runtime BaseHref

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try it that way. First I set it in my fckconfig, I tested it and got it to print out the value just before loading the document content into the editor. Then I tried it dynamically (with each of the above methods in turn) and printed the value again. The values printed out exactly the same but in the dynamic case images weren't displayed.

Would I be right in saying that setting the property FCKConfig.BaseHref has no effect after the startup phase because the configuration functions that read the value have already done their job - unless there is a way to re-execute these functions?

Most of the configuration options are useful only before creating the editor. Once you have created it, it can't know that you have changed those options, so they aren't used at all.
