This postfilter converts all relative URI:s to absolute ones so that the linking to images, css-files, js-files and other webpages will work.

The point of this is that many template-designers may be people who aren't interested in technical details and therefore just want to design their webpages in i.e. Dreamweaver as they're used to. In this way their templates will work just as they are no matter where the php-script using them is located.

More information on the history of this script can be found under: Feature Requests: Relative to Absolute URLs during compilation:
http://www.phpinsider.com/smarty-forum/viewtopic.php?t=3083

Please test it, improve it, comment on it...
Example of things that could be improved:
- it'd be good if it would figure out the absolute URI of the template file by itself so that it wouldn't need the input to $GLOBALS['tpl_absuri']
- to improve performance it'd be good if the ereg-stuff could be replaced by preg, I just don't know how to use preg

Smarty postfilter rel2abs 1.0 - released July 28, 2004

The postfilter rel2abs detects relative URI:s in a template-file
and uses make_abs (see below) to make them absolute and then replaces them.
The absolute URI of the template has to be put into the variable
$GLOBALS['tpl_absuri'](please leave out http://domain)
(i.e. /templates/something/something.tpl
and not http://domain/templates/something/something.tpl)
If anybody figures out a way to not having to input $GLOBALS['tpl_absuri']
please let me know. Other comments, suggestions and modifications are welcome.

It was written by Simon Rönnqvist, the most recent version can
be found at http://ownmedia.net/products/


make_abs takes a relative URI (i.e. ../../css/stylesheet.css)
asd and the absolute URI (i.e. /templates/something/something.tpl)
of the document in which the relative URI was found
and outputs an absolute one (i.e. /css/stylesheet.css)

make_abs was written by Andreas Friedrich http://www.x-author.de/
and found at http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum88/334.htm

"If the resulting buffer string still begins with one or more
complete path segments of "..", then the reference is considered
to be in error. Implementations may handle this error by
retaining these components in the resolved path (i.e., treating
them as part of the final URI), by removing them from the
resolved path (i.e., discarding relative levels above the root),
or by avoiding traversal of the reference."
