Re: $path issue in category links? (a bit long ..)

Blosxom, and pyblosxom is supposed to support 1 level blogs, that could
have multiple levels of hierarchies of sub-blogs. This happens when you
set the blog depth to a level other than 0. So when that happens, you
base url should point to that level instead of the base. Heheh, I didn't
explain it that well eh? Let's go graphical. Supposing your pyblosxom is
installed in:
http://host.com/cgi-bin/blog

And we now reached:

http://host.com/cgi-bin/blog/tech/software

And you have a a couple of blog entries on that link, we pick one of
them, for example, a page that could link to:

http://host.com/cgi-bin/blog/tech/software/annoyance/ms/windows/sucks.html

With that in mind, you have:
http://host.com/cgi-bin/blog/tech/software as your base_url and
annoyance/ms/windows as your path, or put it this way:

http://host.com/cgi-bin/blog/tech/software/annoyance/ms/windows
------------------------------------------^--------------------
              $baseurl                            $path

Now, if you are at /, then the pointer points it differently:
http://host.com/cgi-bin/blog/tech/software/annoyance/ms/windows
----------------------------^----------------------------------
      $base_url                             $path

So $base_url and $path are calculated at render time (or for developers,
on Pyblosxom.entries.fileentry.FileEntry object creation time).

Hope that clears the air :)
