Question

Is there a way to get a site’s (site collection) site directory, the one which is defined within the web site collection setting of a collaboration or publishing portal?

Of course I could iterate through all the SPWebs of the site collection but I hope there’s a easier way to get the directory as the information seems to be already stored somewhere.

Bye, Flo

UPDATE

Of course I want to get the information programmatically.

The site directory path is stored in the root web property bag

The code below taken from an internal utility class SiteDirectoryUtil shows the logic of how to determine the path

 internal static string GetLocalSiteDirectoryLocation(SPWeb rootWeb) {     if (rootWeb != null)     {         if (rootWeb.AllProperties.ContainsKey('DefaultSiteDirectorySiteId'))         {             string str = rootWeb.AllProperties['DefaultSiteDirectorySiteId'] as string;             if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str))             {                 return string.Empty;             }             if (!rootWeb.AllProperties.ContainsKey('DefaultSiteDirectoryWebId'))             {                 return string.Empty;             }             string str2 = rootWeb.AllProperties['DefaultSiteDirectoryWebId'] as string;             if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str2))             {                 return string.Empty;             }             try             {                 using (SPSite site = new SPSite(new Guid(str), rootWeb.Site.Zone))                 {                     using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(new Guid(str2)))                     {                         return web.ServerRelativeUrl;                     }                 }             }             catch (FileNotFoundException)             {                 return string.Empty;             }         }         else         {             return string.Empty;         }     }     return string.Empty; }
