In my Application.cfc's init code, I'm trying to set a variable in the application scope that is the base URL for the pages in the app. I need this to overcome some issues later with relative and absolute paths (using CF7 so app-specific mappings not possible). I'm having some trouble calculating this robustly and I wonder if I'm overlooking something simple.
It's easy to get the base file path. I just use: this.rootFilePath = GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath()); But then I want to calc this.rootURLPath. So if the application is located in the docroot (e.g. d:/inetpub/mysite/), I'd just get '/'. If it were located elsewhere (e.g. d:/inetpub/mysite/a/b/c/), I'd get '/a/b/c/'. I can't use any of the CGI variables because at this point, we're not in the middle of an HTTP request. What I want is the string overlap between rootFilePath and CGI.script_name. Any ideas? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334381 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
