One directory above GetDirectoryFromPath(GetTemplatePath())

WolfShade Apr 25, 2014 8:49 AM

Hello, everyone.

I'm sure this is going to be super-easy for someone to answer. I think I've seen the correct answer, before, and I am just not recalling it.

I've tried Googling it; finding a lot of stuff, but not the answer to my question.

In application.cfc, for this.mapping[], how do I indicate a directory one level "up" from current using GetDirectoryFromPath(GetTemplatePath())?

I've got a project in a main folder that contains an admin folder, each with their own application.cfc. But admin is using components in the main folder, not it's own.

Components are in C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\project\components\ and the admin is in C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\project\admin\

V/r,

^_^

Can you maybe show the folder structure so it's clear where you are and where the mapping should point?

Thanks,

Just use:

#ExpandPath( "../" )#

That will get you one level above where you are now Keep adding "../" to go up a level.

To expand on what Tribule says, for an Application.cfc in the admin directory, the absolute path of the project directory is expandPath("../project") and the absolute path of the components directory is expandPath("../project/components").

Addendum
Oh, by the way, getTemplatePath() was deprecated long ago.

Thank you for your replies, @tribule and @BKBK.

!!! Can't believe that I didn't think of "../"; like I said, I'm sure it's a simple solution that I'm just not recalling.

The project has an Application.cfc, but the admin folder in that project also has its own Application.cfc, and I don't want to "include" the root Application.cfc in the admin one. So, the "../" per directory level should work perfectly from within the admin Application.cfc. I'll give that a shot and report back.

BTW, did not know that getTemplatePath() had been deprecated. Thanks for the heads-up.

V/r,

^_^

UPDATE: Success. That nailed it. Works perfectly. Thank you, again!
