[Java Script Help] URL to Root

[pedram]

Hi there,
i’m not similar with js,
i want to set url to root (of course without write domain name)
is there a way?

look at my e.g:

AudioPlayer.embed(“audioplayer_1”, {soundFile: “https://css-tricks.com/Player/player.mp3”});

i want to set address to root folder instead url (domain name)

something like this:

AudioPlayer.embed(“audioplayer_1”, {soundFile: “~/Player/player.mp3”});

[CrocoDillon]

AudioPlayer.embed(“audioplayer_1”, {soundFile: “/Player/player.mp3”});

doesn’t work? I don’t know about the AudioPlayer but normally starting an url with / means it’s relative to root.

it does, but the problem is audio player normally works with DOMAIN URL, not path address. but i’m working on a MOD for audio player, need to use a global script (or url) to root, look at the path of this mod:

Root/Player/Song.mp3

Root/Themes/Default/Scipts/Player.js

so that embed script placed into player.js , and i can’t write a certain url, cause i don’t know the all people url :) , with php we write something like this:

global $siteurl; echo ‘
src=”‘$siteurl’/player/Song.mp3

but i need to do this via java script, cause audio player based on JS.
so, i need a global call script to root, or domain name, for eveyone, not only myselft, that mean, when using of this MOD, it load songs from Root, and of course i can’t tell the people, edit it manually your self.

I didn’t use ‘Root’ in my example. You might wanna try this [`window.location.hostname`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/window.location) but I’m not sure about browser compatibility.

Important is how it should placed in link, is it correct?

AudioPlayer.embed(“audioplayer_1”, {soundFile: “window.location.hostname/Player/player.mp3”});

or must placed between ” or “” , i don’t know
anyway, it’s not working

[CrocoDillon]

If that’s in JavaScript its more like `{soundFile: window.location.hostname + “/Player/player.mp3”}` or something. Can you make a codepen?

You can get the root location very easily, however because IE is a pain in the neck you’ll need to check both _location.hostname_ and _location.host_. Here is a function that will take care of that for you.

function getLocation() {
var hostname = document.location.hostname,
host = document.location.host;
return hostname == ” ? host == ” ? ” : host : hostname;
}

To use this you would do the following.

AudioPlayer.embed(“audioplayer_1”, {
soundFile: getLocation() + “/Player/player.mp3”
});

Hope this helped.
