Mixing
Portable Directory Path Variables Real-time List
Wordpress: 5.0.3
CiviCRM: Upgraded from 4.7x to 5.9.0
Everything is working, but now I'm getting these status notices about portable path variables. From my status page:
To maximize portability, consider using a variable in each directory
(eg "[cms.root]" or "[civicrm.files]").
It would be great if a list of existing path variables and what they currently point to were actually made available on the "Directory Paths" and "Resource URLs" admin pages. Anything I can do to reduce possible mistakes makes me less anxious about updating my existing paths to the new preferred method.
Sort of Like this:
List of available path variables with their current real-time paths:
[cms.root] --> /home/myusername/mysite.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/
[civicrm.files] --> /home/myusername/mysite.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/uploads/files/
[cms.other.path] --> /home/myusername/mysite.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/whatever/
Also tips on whether to add a slash when using something like:
Example temp file location: [cms.root]uploads/temp/
Is this in the works?
Cheers in advance.

Thanks. This has opened another can of worms, so I've opened a separate SE CiviCRM question. I wonder if there is a minor bug.

Can you make sure in Directories and Resource url settings you are using real-time paths rather hardcoded paths in all text fields on the form. eg [cms.root]uploads/temp/ and not using /home/myusername/mysite.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/
Some organisation define this settings in civicrm.settings.php if thats the case in yours than you will need to update your civicrm.settings.php file.
Note: After doing the change make sure everything is working fine specially cron job and online signup/registration forms.

Thanks for you reply! Regardless of how the variables are achieved (default or in a settings file), if they're simply listed with their current (real-time) values somewhere in the admin page where they're needed, fewer mistakes will be made, right? Also, variables that are derived from a settings file could be noted as such.

Yes, And it will be less pain to update these paths when site is moved or migrated to different path/server as [cms.root] etc will be derived from your apache and civicrm.settings file.
