Duplicate Server based trigger does not support buildLink properly

[AndyB]

Affected version

2.2.2

When using the Server based trigger function:

Admin control panel -> Setup -> Options -> System and performance -> Job run trigger -> Server based trigger

Links created by buildLink do not contain the directory XenForo is installed in.

Example PHP code:

$link = \XF::app()->router('public')->buildLink('posts', $post);

This results in:

https://domain.com/posts/1234

but the XenForo is installed in a directory called 'forums' and it should be:

https://domain.com/forums/posts/1234

Fundamentally, I think this is the same issue as reported here:

Fixed - Activity Summary Email template broken

When scheduled tasks runs at Server Trigger (OS system cron) email template broken with incorrect logo URL. This is cause in Templater function base_url (fnBaseUrl) return incorrect url fnBaseUrl get base url from request.pather which get it from $container['request.paths'] It is possible...

xenforo.com

Saying that, it is worth mentioning that in most cases, you may either want to be building links using canonical: explicitly. Or if it's for use in an alert in similar later, using nopath: (allowing the path to be resolved at run time).

Thank you, Mike. I really appreciate the canonical tip, that fixed my issue.
