CKEDITOR_BASEPATH has no affect on CKEDITOR.basePath

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

The CKEDITOR_BASEPATH global should change the value of CKEDITOR.basePath because the later could be used in the code to setup paths.

This one is a follow up of #5099.

Test page

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

This one works for me.

I've attached a test page for it. Note that I'm loading the main script from a local URL, but I'm setting the CKEDITOR_BASEPATH var to a remote URL. Both the CKEDITOR.basePath and the specific editor setting reflect the CKEDITOR_BASEPATH change.

@JoeK, do you have more information about it?

[Joe Kavanagh]

With a CKEditor install at ​http://localhost/ckeditor and setting CKEDITOR_BASEPATH to the relative URL of '/ckeditor/', CKEDITOR.basePath returns the absolute path ​http://localhost/ckeditor. Should CKEDITOR.basePath return a relative URL if CKEDITOR_BASEPATH is set to a relative URL? I've attached a test page that sets the smiley_path using CKEDITOR_BASHPATH, CKEDITOR.basePath and CKEDITOR.getUrl. Only CKEDITOR_BASEPATH results in a relative URL.

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

Ah ok, now it's clearer.

The CKEDITOR.basePath value will "always" point to a full path. This is specified in the ​documentation. In cases of absolute URL, the editor will resolve it to a full URL. This is by design.

If you need settings, like smiley_path, to not use full URLs, you should not rely on CKEDITOR.basePath for it, setting then with the absolute URL directly.
