This description is little more than a rephrasing of the function name itself. It might be apparent to others, but could I have solid definition of "base page," please?

Thanks!

I think that "base page" means the page that was initially invoked by the user. For example, you might use getbasetemplatepath() in a custom tag to determine the directory that contains the originally called page.

It's exceptionally useful when dynamically locating your physical local server's directory in reference to your component/cfm that is being accessed.

GetDirectoryFromPath(GetBaseTemplatePath())

will return something like

/opt/cfmx7/wwwroot/appName/
-or-
c:\CFusion7\wwwroot\appName\

(depending on how you've setup your directory structure)
