Name: Static resource base path Type: String Default: {assets_path}

The base path that is prepended to the file name stored in a static resource when resource_static_allow_absolute is disabled (the default).

When that setting is disabled, files are restricted to this directory. Setting the path too wide can let manager users read files they should not see, so keep it narrow — for example {assets_path}static/.

The manager expands {assets_path}, {core_path} and {base_path} in system setting values when it builds the cached configuration (modCacheManager::generateConfig()). The default therefore resolves to the assets directory of the installation. Element tags such as [[++assets_path]] are parsed as well. Files picked through the media browser are resolved against this path.
