I'm trying to place links in the footer of the calender view, but I can't get the URL to resolve properly.

The $base_url in settings.php is 'mysite.com/drupal5'.
So the link URL I'm trying to create is 'mysite.com/drupal5/node/add/meeting'.

The PHP snippet is this:

<?php
global $user;
$output = '';
if (is_array($user->roles)) {
   if (isset($user->roles [3]) || isset($user->roles [4]) || isset($user->roles [5]) || isset($user->roles [6]) )  {
    $output .= '<a href="' . $base_url . 'node/add/meeting">Schedule a new Meeting</a><br />';
  }
   else {
    $output .= '';
  }
}
return $output; 
?>

case 1: a href="' . $base_url . 'node/add/meeting"
produces the URL 'mysite.com/drupal5/calendar/2007/node/add/meeting'.

case 2: add leading / a href="' . $base_url . '/node/add/meeting"
produces the URL 'mysite.com/node/add/meeting' (the /drupal5/ bit is missing).

case 3: add leading ./ a href="' . $base_url . './node/add/meeting"
produces the URL 'mysite.com/drupal5/node/add/meeting'...

Which is great until I click on the year or month view and then I get loads of /calendar/2007/ etc argument stuff re-inserted into the URL! This is mightily confusing. Is there any way of bypassing this interference caused by calendar module's URL arguments ... ?

Ah-ha!! I've got it: just added the line global $base_url; at the beginning of the function. eg

<?php
global $user;
global $base_url;
$output = '';
   ... etc
?>
