If my component is installed on three different forums: https://forum.someone.com/ https://other.com/forum https://player.com/ How do I extract the base URI if I’m in a subdirectory like https://forum.someone.com/mytopic/blablaba?

i think perhaps you may be looking for this feature, which is not merged yet [image] How do I add links to site settings into the settings description of my component? Development Once this PR is merged, you’ll be able to use %{base_path} in theme setting descriptions: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/33180

Where do you want to use it? The Reddit-ish theme, for example, uses discourse/helpers/base-path in the template to create the “the category list” link in the welcome message on the right. [image] javascripts/discourse/components/sidebar-welcome.gjs 01cf31807 import Component from "@glimmer/component"; import { action } from "@ember/object"; import { service } from "@ember/service"; import { and } from "truth-helpers"; import DButton from "discourse/components/d-button"; import basePath from "discourse/helpers/base-path"; import htmlSafe from "discourse/helpers/html-safe"; import Composer from "discourse/models/composer"; import { i18n } from "discourse-i18n"; import SidebarLatestTopics from "./sidebar-latest-topics"; export default class SidebarWelcome extends Component { @service router; @service composer; @service siteSettings; @service site; javascripts/discourse/components/sidebar-welcome.gjs 01cf31807 tags: this.args.tag?.id, }); } {{#if this.isTopRoute}} {{i18n (themePrefix "top_route_welcome")}} {{htmlSafe (i18n (themePrefix "top_route_description") basePath=(basePath)) }} {{#if (and this.currentUser this.currentUser.can_create_topic)}} {{/if}} locales/en.yml 01cf31807 top_route_description: "You're viewing a feed containing topics from all categories. If you're looking for something more specific, browse the category list ." There are also examples where discourse/lib/get-url is used to get the URL in a JavaScript function.

In a component, how do I find out the base URI of the forum?
