site.getLocalPathToFiles() even when no files are open?

Byron Adams · Byron Adams

Hi all,

i want to use the site.getLocalPathToFiles(); function but the only problem
is one of the sites files needs to be open for it to work, what i want to do
is have the site open in the site-panel on the left but not need any files
to be open is this even possible?
for example say the user had just created a site using the site definition
diaglog box but hasnt added any files yet, i want to retreive the local
path the the site, do i really need to have a file open for this to work?

thanks in advance,

Byron

Just tried in a command.
No need to have a file open.

function initializeUI() {
alert(site.getLocalPathToFiles());
}

Sorry, in the prior example i left out the call to the function
(site.getLocalPathToFiles()) but regardless it doesnt work.

just wanted to make sure you didnt think that was why it wasnt working

Tried your code, without 

It works perfectly here.

If you have 'menu-location=none', I suppose you call your command from an other
place.
Maybe the problem is in this other place.

Ok thanks,
that helps because now i know that the issue is somthing else in my
extension (i tried it without 'menu-location=none') still didnt work...

is there any issue that anyones aware of that could be causing this? because
it does actually work if i have file open... this is quiet weird.... its got
me stumped but the thing that worries me mostly is that im working to a
deadline so this is quiet an urgent issue

maybe some guru would be interested in having a look at my code and pointing
out what i need to fix?

any help is much appreciated, thanks for your help so far Phil

Ok, i've discovered somthing else...

It does actually work if no files are open but if i have a file open that
isnt part of the current site (some random html file)
then it just returns nothing, is there a way i can close all currently open
documents?

Thanks in advance
