# GetTemplatePath

Returns the fully specified path of the base template.

Note | For backward compatibility, GetTemplatePath is still supported. However, GetBaseTemplatePath supersedes this function, and should be used in place of it in all code written after the release of ColdFusion 4.0.

See also GetBaseTemplatePath, FileExists and ExpandPath.
