- 11.x core/lib/Drupal/Core/Extension/DatabaseDriverList.php \Drupal\Core\Extension\DatabaseDriverList::getPathname()
Gets the info file path for an extension.
The info path, whether provided, cached, or retrieved from the database, is only returned if the file exists.
This function plays a key role in allowing Drupal's extensions (modules, themes, profiles, theme_engines, etc.) to be located in different places depending on a site's configuration. For example, a module 'foo' may legally be located in any of these four places:
- core/modules/foo/foo.info.yml
- modules/foo/foo.info.yml
- sites/all/modules/foo/foo.info.yml
- sites/example.com/modules/foo/foo.info.yml
while a theme 'bar' may be located in any of the following four places:
- core/themes/bar/bar.info.yml
- themes/bar/bar.info.yml
- sites/all/themes/bar/bar.info.yml
- sites/example.com/themes/bar/bar.info.yml
An installation profile maybe be located in any of the following places:
- core/profiles/baz/baz.info.yml
- profiles/baz/baz.info.yml
Calling ExtensionList::getPathname('foo') will give you one of the above, depending on where the extension is located and what type it is.
Parameters
string $extension_name: The machine name of the extension for which the pathname is requested.
Return value
string The drupal-root relative filename and path of the requested extension's .info.yml file.
