Nope, no domain provides that. There isn't really a similar user/local/network structure to this that could be modeled. Documents can be shared across those levels, but web stuff doesn't fit that way really.


I believe that localization for those directories is done using the displayed name vs actual name mechanism. The 10.2 Cocoa Release Notes indicate that is the case <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/ReleaseNotes/Cocoa/ AppKit.html> and there is some discussion in System Overview as well (<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/ SystemOverview/FileSystem/chapter_9_section_2.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/ 20000986/BCIGJCEA>).

I'd suggest using the NSHomeDirectory(), and then use the pathByAppendingComponent:@"Sites" appended on that string.

Incidently, FindFolder (which is the Carbon equiv to the domain stuff in Cocoa) doesn't seem to list a "Sites" applicable constant either.

asks/LocatingDirectories.html).

However, there's one problem: there doesn't seem to be any constant that
represents the Sites folder (like there is to represent the Documents folder
using NSDocumentDirectory). Did I miss something? Or should I just hard-code
"Sites" (won't this not work for international users or is the folder named
"Sites" there as well?)?

Thanks in advance!
