What is the best way to derive your subdirectory path?
For instance, the base of my application might be:
/MyApplication/index.cfm
where "MyApplication" is a mapping in CFAdministrator
Then I have some directory structure, such that one path might be:
/MyApplication/Level1/Level2/index.cfm
I want to know where I am (reconstruct only the subdirectory
path)...that is, I want to dynamically be able to generate:
/Level1/Level2
Currently, I'm doing this via lots of string manipulation, and it seems
much more painful than it ought to be. What I currently have is:
<cfset RootMapping ="/MyApplication/">
<cfset UntrimmedCurrentDirectory =
GetDirectoryFromPath(#cgi.path_info#)>
<cfset TrimStart = Len(UntrimmedCurrentDirectory)>
<cfset CurrentDirectory = RemoveChars(UntrimmedCurrentDirectory,
TrimStart, "1")> {note...this takes off an extraneous character that
GetDirectoyrFromPath puts on}
<cfset SESSION.RelativeDirectory = RemoveChars(CurrentDirectory,
"1", len(RootMapping))>
And SESSION.RelativeDirectory is what I want.
Is there a better way? There's GOT to be a better way!
And while I'm asking, could someone explain the <BASE> tag? Would this
help me?
Thanks!
