Extensions webPath is relative to what base URL?
December 20, 2012, 12:10:52 pm
I am new to CiviCRM and need a few basic pointers to orient myself and get that crucial first edit-to-view feedback loop started.

Using civix I have generated a page stub, and following the example in the --help screen specified 'civicrm/processor' as the webPath.  My assumption is that this is a RESTful path extension which will cause Civi to render out the page.  I have not however been able to locate a statement of which URL it ought to be used relative to.

I am using CiviCRM 4.2 and WP 3.4.2. 
My base site URL is http://roaringsky.ca
My extension's directory is: file://<docroot>/wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/extensions/ca.roaringsky.netbanx

Any guidance appreciated.

I believe I may have stumbled onto the answer:  the [CiviCRM_URL] aka the WP Dashboard > CIviCRM environment:

http://roaringsky.ca/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/processor

A short confirmation from anyone in the know would still be appreciated.

I qualify as such. :)

AFAIK, the path civicrm/processor will be a web page, not a REST API. The path would be of the same format as other CiviCRM pages, so for example on this site:

http://wordpress.demo.civicrm.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/contact/search&reset=1

your path would be:

http://wordpress.demo.civicrm.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/processor

At least on the backend.

Thanks Hershel.
Can you illustrate the form for a front-side page specification ?   Mapping a frontside WP URL to a CivicCRM backend processor I mean.

Based on

http://wordpress.demo.civicrm.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/register&reset=1&id=3

it would be:

http://wordpress.demo.civicrm.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/processor
