/path/to/site automatically?
<txp:site_url />files is a great way of producing http://mysite.com/files but is there an equally convenient way to extract the path to site such as:
/home/whatever/public_html/files or
/users/home/whatever/public_html/files or even
/htdocs/mytest/files
I am going to be using zem_ir image replacement plugin and paths such as these are needed. As I am using it for a template, and there are several instances of the path that would need to be changed, some kind of automatic production of this path would help a lot.

The constant ‘hu’ always points to the root of your textpattern install.

Re: /path/to/site automatically?
I spoke too soon. I must have been seeing cached pages. I’ve tried a few things such as:
font=”<txp:php>echo hu. ‘files/copper.ttf’;</txp:php>”
but it produces this error message:
Error: The server is missing the specified font ‘C:/xampp\http://localhost/minim/files/copper.ttf’.
So it seems to be mixing up the url and path.

Here you are. The prefs changes is to enable comment preferences. The clean url test has failed for about 6 months but not affected anything as far as I can tell. It always used to work before that.

Re: /path/to/site automatically?
If you just do <txp:php>echo hu;</txp:php>, what does that show as a path?

Re: /path/to/site automatically?
I get ‘cannot create heading’ but if I put
font=”<txp:php>echo hu;</txp:php>files/copper.ttf”
I get:
Error: The server is missing the specified font ‘C:/xampp\http://localhost/minim/files/copper.ttf’.
I just tried this on a website with clean urls working and have the same problem.
I am putting this inside <txp:zem_ir_set. I’ve used it in a form and on a page but still the same results.

Re: /path/to/site automatically?
Hmm… but I think I misunderstood you, because you probably want the path on the server, instead of creating an URL (which “hu” is used for), so try this:
<txp:php>global $path_to_site; echo $path_to_site;</txp:php>Offline

Re: /path/to/site automatically?
That’s weird… what happens if you put the last bit of code I suggested in a TXP template alongside other plain text and then visit a page that uses this template. I’m interested in seen what value $path_to_site has.
I think somewhere in the plugin the “c:/xampp\” part is added.

Re: /path/to/site automatically?
Note that if I put copper.ttf in the xampp folder it all works. However, I want to be able to upload the font to the files folder via txp file upload.
Zem_ir creates and uses xampp/images/zir folder by default, and seems designed for fonts to go directly in the xampp folder so they are out of the public_html to prevent font downloads. However, there’s a fontdir and a font option to specify different paths, but these don’t work with url but only with server paths. So I want to create a server path automatically so any user of the template doesn’t have to mess about changing server path names.
