Using a Variable/Token for Config Directories to Get Site Root Path

Question

I am using Drupal 7 with CiviCRM 4.7.12.

When setting the Directories for CiviCRM...

I know you can use [civicrm.files] and [civicrm.root] to get file system paths. However, I have my extensions, custom templates and custom php in the root of my web server.

Is there a token or variable that I can set that will point CiviCRM to the root directory of my site?

For example I could have the following for the "Custom Template Directory": [site.root]/CustomTemplates

Note: There is a Paths.php file that defines a Paths class that contains cms.root. However, when using that in the directories settings it tells me that the path cannot be found.

Take a look at issue CRM-19371. It a small bug and fixed in CiviCrm 4.7.13. I fixed my 4.7.12 installation by using this patch.
