Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/218

if tinyfilemanager content is in a subfolder (/var/www/html/tinyfilemanager-master) of the document root (/var/www/html) and I specify a folder for a user neil (/var/www/html/test)
$directories_users = array(
'neil' => '../test',
);
The href / Direct link for any files in the users folder (/var/www/html/test) are always relative to where the tinyfilemanager is executing rather than the document root
so for host manage-test.ac.uk and file /var/www/html/test/test.html
the href or direct link is: http://manage-test.ac.uk/tinyfilemanager-master/test/test.html
I have tried changing $http_host = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; but this didn't fix the problem!

think I have a solution, removed $wd from line 189 so it becomes:
$root_url = $root_url.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$directories_users[$_SESSION[FM_SESSION_ID]['logged']];
and all works fine, not sure why it was there in the first place!, this also means you can remove line 188 as wd is not referenced anywhere else.

ok slight change, but this works for all cases:
if (isset($_SESSION[FM_SESSION_ID]['logged']) && !empty($directories_users[$_SESSION[FM_SESSION_ID]['logged']])) {
$root_url = $root_url.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$directories_users[$_SESSION[FM_SESSION_ID]['logged']];
}else{
$wd = fm_clean_path(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));
$root_url = $root_url.$wd;
}
