Hardcoding vs Not

What would be the best way to structure this URL to point to the current zenphoto install base rather than having to hardcode each time. It's getting a bit tedious with all these hardcoded links to have to change, and I thought you might have some advice. (e.g. would zp_themeroot work?)

An example URL would be (for my credits page):
`http://www.thinkdreams.com/zenphoto?p=credit`

How would you code that in PHP correctly for zenphoto to use it?

    just a relative link like '?p=credit' should work; it'll always be index.php, right? And that will work in whatever folder it happens to be in.

    If you want the full path, use `<?php echo FULLWEBPATH . '/index.php?p=credit'; ?>` (edit: That may not work in 1.0.3. Darn, I should release 1.0.4 already...)

    What's changing about the link that you're worried about?

    Well, it's when I was porting between my dev site and my main site that I noticed that the link was hardcoded with the full web path of http://www.thinkdreams.com/zenphoto, even though my dev sites root path was zensub. So I think the above answers my question that I was looking for. Just need to use relative pathnames instead.

    Thanks!
