I'm displaying a block with an image throughout my site, however, on certain pages, the image doesn't display.
I figured out that this is because the path is changed for clean url's so '/content/' is added to urls for things like 'about' pages and other nodes on the site
I think I need to use the base_path() function to solve this but i'm not quite sure how to use it.
The link i need to change is:
<a href="node/add/item-request"><img src="sites/default/files/headerbanner/request-item-button.png"></a>
How would I use base_path()? to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Nick

you need to use <?php echo
you need to use
<?phpecho nase_path();
?>
or, javascript have base_path in:

For an editable block it's best not to use PHP or JavaScript (stability, security, performance, and maintainability issues). Better just to use an absolute path:
<a href="/content/node/add/item-request"><img src="/content/sites/default/files/headerbanner/request-item-button.png"></a>If what you are trying to do cannot be done without PHP or JavaScript I'd recommend writing up a custom module and implementing hook_block_info() and hook_block_view().
