No subfolder prefixing for some resources

installation
1

Version: v2.6.0.beta2
Setup: Subfolder /forum/discourse setup running on Docker w/ Apache reverse proxy on host /forum/discourse

I have followed the instructions here for the subfolder setup and the installation works fine.

However, some resource URLs are not correctly prefixed and lead to 404s. For example, the URL for the default header logo should be /forum/discourse/images/discourse-logo-sketch.png but Discourse uses /images/discourse-logo-sketch.png.

I’m not quite familiar with the codebase but I think that this should be solved by wrapping application_logo_url with UrlHelper.absolute() here.

I will add to the topic if I find any other instances of the problem. Let me know if this is indeed an issue or if I’m doing something wrong. I’d be more than happy to submit a PR.

The placeholders resources don’t load the subfolder path indeed, but as soon as you finish the wizard setup the new logs added with it will have the subfolder prefix.
