TYPO3 Core

One of our clients reported a broken link when clicking onto the icon named pildown.gif in db_layout.php to jump to another set if records. The click onto the icon resolves in a 404 error due to a wrong link to db_layout.php.

After some re-engineering I found a method fwd_rwd_HTML() in class.t3lib_recordlist.php that creates the (broken) link by using the method listURL(). I was assuming, that fwd_rwd_HTML() would use listURL() from the same file class.t3lib_recordlist.php but instead I found that the method used by fwd_rwd_HTML() resides in typo3/class.db_list.inc.

The method listURL() in class.db_list.inc returns a path by prefixing the script with $GLOBALS['BACK_PATH']. $GLOBALS['BACK_PATH'] holds the wrong relative path (../../..).

After removing $GLOBALS['BACK_PATH'] from the return value, the link is working again.

We experienced this misbehaviour in an earlier version of TYPO3 as well but didn't file a bugreport yet.

Here's the complete method including my changes:

/**
 * Creates the URL to this script, including all relevant GPvars
 * Fixed GPvars are id, table, imagemode, returlUrl, search_field, search_levels and showLimit
 * The GPvars "sortField" and "sortRev" are also included UNLESS they are found in the $exclList variable.
 *
 * @param    string        Alternative id value. Enter blank string for the current id ($this->id)
 * @param    string        Tablename to display. Enter "-1" for the current table.
 * @param    string        Commalist of fields NOT to include ("sortField" or "sortRev")
 * @return    string        URL
     */
    function listURL($altId='',$table=-1,$exclList='')    {
