Hi List,

Durign development of an Plugin i discovered sime very unique path problems:

in the plugin - configfile there are (among other the following two entries:
$conf['MediaDir']              = DOKU_INC."data/media";
        // where is your media - directory. If unsure, leav as is
$conf['ThumbnailDir']            = DOKU_INC."data/media/thumbnails";
        // where should the thumbnails be generated?

but when i use these paths in the plugin itself (called via
$this->getConf('MediaDir') resp. $this->getConf('ThumbnailDir')) i get two
different path variations:
the MediaDir ist given back as ./data/media but for the ThumbnailDir i get
the whole /var/www/something/htdocs/data/media/thumbnails. Why?

thanks
mike
