NSM Config File and Upload paths based on environment (relative paths not an option)

I’m using the NSM bootstrap method to work on my local/dev/live servers. It works pretty much as I’d like it to with one catch. Upload paths.

Assets (the P&T add-on) does not like relative server paths. I have to use absolute server paths in the CP settings.

I can get the NSM bootstrap file to configure my upload directories, however it does so without considering the environment. I can’t figure out how to make them conditional on environment. It’s probably pretty easy using php, but once again I’m reminded how I really need to learn php better.

Is this even possible? If so, how?

Turns out $config[‘assets_cp_path’] = “./”; in the config file will allow Assets to work with relative paths.

Still curious to know if environment relative settings are possible for uploads.
