PHPRunner General questions

Hello,
This may sound a bit simple but I cannot find an answer.
I want to create a link to a file located inside the structure of my website. Do I have to hardcode it or is there a way that I can code it so that if I move the site to some other part of my server the file will still be found? (Some CMS systems use a shortcut like %site% to indicate the current site whatever its name - but the name is defined elsewhere - not the case with phprunner sites as far as I can tell).
Of course, I do not want to have to rewrite (or remember) any links to local files if possible.
And related to this question, is there a simple way that I could generate a popup from within phprunner? I suppose I could modify the html, but it would be better if phprunner managed it all.
Thank you

Andrew

Are you trying to link to an external page? There is info in the manual about that.

Also check 3.1.3.7 Menu item: Modify.

Thank for your reply. I will look. It is a page external to the files generated by phprunner but in the same domain and webroot. I am just looking for a shortcut so that I do not have to change all the links later on.

Not sure how this applies to PHPRunner.
Link to a file in the root directory as /file.html

One directory deeper /folder/file.html etc.

The whole Internet works this way.

Thanks Sergey. That's what I would expect: that it would work on a relative path from the root of the web server. It's just that some pieces of software specifically require an address in the form of http://.... I was not sure what was required by phprunner's editor (I guess: file://file.html)
Cheers and thanks
