something like this?
GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())
but it will return the path of the current template only you can use it in
something like the app_globals.cfm to set the path dynamically
i code from home...it goes to a demo server...then it hits a production
server so i just use app_globals.cfm method
**THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE IN THE WEBROOT TO RETURN THE RIGHT PATH**
<!---app_globals.cfm --->
<cfif not isdefined('request.maindsn')>
<cfscript>
request.webroot ="http://#cgi.server_name#/sitename";;
request.imageroot ="http://#cgi.server_name#/sitename/images";;
request.maindsn="datasourcename";
request.timespan=createtimespan(0,0,15,0);
request.webpath="GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath()) ";
request.imagepath="GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())
\images";
request.cfroot="/cfmappingname";
</cfscript>
</cfif>
and any other frequently reused vars that might change from demo to
production like error email, and such
then I <cfinclude> this in Application.cfm
now all my
Image tags look like <img src="#request.imageroot#/image.gif">
Links look like <a href="#request.webroot#/dir/template.cfm">
CFQueries <cfquery name="name" datasource="#request.maindsn#"
cachedwithin="#request.timespan#">
CFinclude's <cfinclude
template="#request.cfroot#/template.cfm">
i use the web path and imagepath for cffile tags in content management tools
so once the site moves from home to demo or demo to production... IF there
are any datasource, cfmapping, or emails to change...they are only changed
here
