Question

I’m working with Umbraco 4.7.1 and I’ve created some extensions that hook into Document.AfterPublish and Document.AfterUnPublish. I need to find the directory of the config files from here, but need to be independent of server installation (i.e. a literal won’t work). Is there any way of finding this at that point in time?

Answer 1

I think what you are looking for is the umbraco.IO.SystemDirectories class, specifically the Config property.

This will return “~/config” by default, but can be overridden by adding a umbracoConfigDirectory key to the appSettings section of the web.config file and specifying a different path there.
