[BUG] api.taxonomy.taxasuggest.js assumes that if portal/* is a valid link that this is the CLIENT_ROOT url

[mickley]

See code here:

Symbiota/js/symb/api.taxonomy.taxasuggest.js

Line 11 in 06f6cb6

if(urlExists("/portal"+acUrlBase)) acUrl = "/portal"+acUrlBase;

The problem with this line is that if a separate Symbiota installation is set up under /portal, then it will use that, even if it's not the correct installation. I'd recommend removing it as the following lines make it redundant anyway.

There may be better ways to get CLIENT_ROOT as well without having to try a bunch of HTML requests to see if a URL exists: e.g., having it set via PHP writing it out to javascript, or playing with thisScript.src and window.location variables to figure out where the call is coming from.
