[wp-hackers] WP_CONTENT_DIR and PLUGINDIR

[Frank Bueltge]

// Pre-2.6 compatibility
if ( !defined('WP_CONTENT_URL') )
	define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', get_option('url') . '/wp-content');
if ( !defined('WP_CONTENT_DIR') )
	define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content' );
if ( !defined('WP_PLUGIN_URL') )
	define( 'WP_PLUGIN_URL', WP_CONTENT_URL. '/plugins' );

Thats my way in all plugins, i checl for the constants

Liebe Grüsse
Frank
