修改Wordpress插件？

Question

I have a third-party WP plugin which, although no longer updated, still works fine - and for which I've not been able to find an alternative.

It's 'Zajax' - which ajax-loads internal pages... thus enabling a streaming-radio audio-player to be fixed to the viewport-base, with continuous play throughout page-changes.

However, it appears to require absolute urls - on root-relative urls it reloads the whole page (and thus stops continuous-play).

This is a hindrance, because I normally use root-relative urls - and hence sometimes forget to ensure that all internal urls are absolute rather than root-relative.

I want to modify, so that it'll work with root-relative urls - but don't know enough to do this.

Actually using root-relative URL-s is not good idea, but if it is comfortable for you, then use small jQuery snippet which may help you with the problem.

jQuery("a").each(function(){
if (jQuery(this).attr("href").indexOf("http")==-1){
jQuery(this).attr("href","https://yourwebsiteurl.com/"+jQuery(this).attr("href"));
}
});

You can put this code to footer area of your website, it will detect root-related links and convert them to normal links. (without changing anything at your backend, of course)
