Server Path Field Overview

Server Path Field adds a custom FieldType to Craft CMS called Server Path. This lets you choose from any direcotry found in the webroot, which then returns the path as twig value.

This plugin is basic and not so useful as standalone, but it extends the possiblities of other extensions need a specific public path. For instance Server Files or GetFiles.
