How to get the path to the current template in Joomla 1.5?

I'm writing a component and would like to insert images from the template folder.

How do you get the correct path to the template folder?

Solution

  • IIRC, the $mainframe global object is eventually going away. Here is a way to do it through the framework:

    $app = JFactory::getApplication();
$templateDir = JURI::base() . 'templates/' . $app->getTemplate();
