Portable Directory Path Variables Real-time List












1















Wordpress: 5.0.3



CiviCRM: Upgraded from 4.7x to 5.9.0



Everything is working, but now I'm getting these status notices about portable path variables. From my status page:




To maximize portability, consider using a variable in each directory
(eg "[cms.root]" or "[civicrm.files]").




It would be great if a list of existing path variables and what they currently point to were actually made available on the "Directory Paths" and "Resource URLs" admin pages. Anything I can do to reduce possible mistakes makes me less anxious about updating my existing paths to the new preferred method.



Sort of Like this:




List of available path variables with their current real-time paths:



[cms.root] --> /home/myusername/mysite.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/



[civicrm.files] --> /home/myusername/mysite.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/uploads/files/



[cms.other.path] --> /home/myusername/mysite.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/whatever/



Also tips on whether to add a slash when using something like:



Example temp file location: [cms.root]uploads/temp/




Is this in the works?



Cheers in advance.

          Can you make sure in Directories and Resource url settings you are using real-time paths rather hardcoded paths in all text fields on the form. eg [cms.root]uploads/temp/ and not using /home/myusername/mysite.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/



          Some organisation define this settings in civicrm.settings.php if thats the case in yours than you will need to update your civicrm.settings.php file.




          Note: After doing the change make sure everything is working fine specially cron job and online signup/registration forms.

          • Thanks for you reply! Regardless of how the variables are achieved (default or in a settings file), if they're simply listed with their current (real-time) values somewhere in the admin page where they're needed, fewer mistakes will be made, right? Also, variables that are derived from a settings file could be noted as such.

          • Yes, And it will be less pain to update these paths when site is moved or migrated to different path/server as [cms.root] etc will be derived from your apache and civicrm.settings file.

          A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

          Image
          0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...

It is not appropriate to pass these predictions into an evaluation metric. Can someone explain what does it mean?
