Detect admin dir

[bartman]

Just playing around with a new module, and need to find the path to the admin directory ,

is this possible as the admin directory can be different on every install
IMHO, I do not think this is possible. and will have to be added in the configuration of the module

Where are you trying to detect it from? If it is from a file in the admin directory, then you can get the URL of the current page and then extract the admin directory from it. If it is a file outside the admin directory, for example in a module, then you should add a configuration option. Otherwise, the only way is to scan all the root directories, then look for a file like header.inc.php. If you find it, then you've found the admin directory.

its a module i am building for our own use, it will be from the front office, basically i want a link to edit this item to appear on the product page, I was going to use the same functions as the maintenace page in prestashop so in the module you would input your ip and when the product page loads it detects ip and if the ip's match the link to edit this item will on the product page
