Magento, retrieving base url path

Posted by branko in Magento | View Comments

Retrieving base url path of a Magento instllation is a trivial task. Trivial if you know where to look. If you open /app/Mage.php file and look at line 204, you will se a function getBaseUrl. Function recieves two parametars, but those are not conditional. Do do a test run, open youre app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/product/view.phtml file and place the following inside

<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl();  ?>

This will echo out the base url path. Could be useful if you’re like me doing WordPress to Magento and vice versa connections and so on.

    can I ask how to get the base url inside CMS, is there a equivalent {{skin url}} for the base url?

    I try {{base_url}} or {{base url}} but it does not work.

    Hope you can help..
