Developer ReferenceConfiguration File

base_path

Table of contents

Description:

This key defines a path for files created using an option in the + Add button dropdown.

This path overrides the path for the current Collection and subfolder open in the Collection browser.

This key is useful if you need to specify a specific subfolder within a Collection.

Appears in:
└── collections_config
    └── *
        └── add_options
            └── [*]
                └── Add Option
                    └── base_path
Type:
string
Examples:

In this example, we want team members in the _posts Collection to create new files in theblog subfolder of the _drafts Collection rather than the current Collection browser they have open. By configuring the base_path value to /../_drafts/blog, new files will be created in a different Collection subfolder (i.e., _drafts) when a team member selects this option from the + Add button dropdown.
