Coverting Snippet from Ev to Rev

I wrote a snippet a couple years ago for Evolution (before it was called that) and now I’m migrating the site to Revolution. In my snippet I made a call to $modx->config[’base_path’] but that doesn’t seem to exist in Revolution. I looked through the list of system settings found here http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Settings but didn’t see anything that looked like it would return the same data. Suggestions? Thanks!

It looks like you would use:

$basePath = $modx->getOption(’base_path’);

You might also want to have a look at MetaX as I think that function is used in one or two places...

Oh. That’s not in the list I looked at. Where did you find that? And thanks!

It’s simply a modification (/guess) based on the code sample on the page linked. If you want to dig into things further you may want to look into: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution21/Developing+an+Extra+in+MODX+Revolution

Keep in mind some legacy code currently in 2.0.x will be removed in 2.1.x (the next release), so I would look in the Revolution 2.1 documentation area.

Hope that helps.

$modx->getOption(’base_path’) is definitely what you want.

getOption() is the correct method for getting any System Setting.

Actually, that shouldn’t really be public yet tbh, and is just a clone of the 20 documentation at the moment. The documentation changes will be prepared over the next couple of weeks as the release candidate phase is completed.

Okay. Thanks! Where can I find a complete listing of all the system settings? base_path is not listed at the link I referenced above.

The API documentation (http://api.modxcms.com/) might be a good place to look.

Most of them are in System -> System Settings. Here’s a partial, unofficial list of the ones that aren’t in the System Settings grid:

[table]
[tr][td]Setting[/td][td]Tag[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Site URL[/td][td][[++site_url]][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Base Path[/td][td][[++base_path]][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Base URL[/td][td][[++base_url]][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Core path[/td][td][[++core_path]][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Manager Path[/td][td][[++manager_path]][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Manager URL[/td][td][[++manager_url]][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Processors path[/td][td][[++processors_path]][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Assets path[/td][td][[++assets_path]][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Assets URL [/td][td][[++assets_url]][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Connectors path[/td][td][[++connectors_path]][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Connectors URL[/td][td][[++connectors_url]][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]URL Scheme[/td] [td][[++url_scheme]][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]HTTP Host[/td][td][[++http_host]][/td][/tr]
[/table]

The reason, btw, those are not in the grid, is that they are Context-specific, and generated either in the config.inc.php file or at runtime. They’re not meant to be edited on a whim.
