FYI: the way relative and absolute links are handled has been changed in PhotoPlog Lite v.1.0.7. While the old photoplog_absolute_links function was meant to remove the manual setting of links, it didn't work out as planned.

Why was it changed? There are just too many different ways to consider (e.g., skins, CMS, mods, etcetera) where an automatic linking function, like the old photoplog_absolute_links function, ran into problems (e.g., linking to the wrong location, duplicate directory issues, subdomains, etcetera).

PhotoPlog Lite v.1.0.7 has been coded so you set what and where to link. Granted it's sort of a PITA to do it the first time, but it'll be remembered once you do it, and it should prove to be a more flexible solution, in that you shouldn't need to edit code or templates in order to get absolute links.
