How do I get the system folder name?
Development and Programming
Sorry for the question, but you have to start somewhere. I’m starting to pick apart and learn extensions. This is really 2 questions:
I’m seeing this sort of thing a lot: $PREFS->ini(‘site_url’, TRUE), or $PREFS->core_ini[“site_url”], which I sort of get, but is there a complete list of those somewhere? The $PREFS? It may be too early in the a.m. of something.
And somewhat related, how do I get and refer to the name of the System folder when I’m in an extension? For example, there is this line:
'script_url' => $PREFS->ini('site_url', TRUE).'folder1/folder/file.js'resulting in http://www.site.com/folder1/folder/file.js
If I wanted to put that in the System Folder, how could I reference it? I’m assuming it is something like:
'script_url' => $PREFS->ini('system_folder', TRUE).'folder1/folder/file.js'resulting in http://www.site.com/system/folder1/folder/file.js
Thanks for helping me get started with this under-the-hood stuff!
it’s a constant: PATH
so
echo PATHwould produce, on a default installation
./system/
Other constants include:
APP_NAME APP_BUILD CONFIG_FILE PATH_CACHE PATH_LANG PATH_EXT PATH_CORE PATH_TMPL PATH_DICT PATH_MOD PATH_DB PATH_PI PATH_CP PATH_LIB PATH SELF EXT SLASH LD RD
Thanks for your response. Followup question: where did you gather that list from? I went into the docs and searched for “PATH_MOD” just to see what would come up, and there were no results. Am I looking in the wrong place?
You’ll find that list in core.system.php
