Changing the admin directory name will break a lot of stuff. However, search and ye shall find.

Apparently there is already help on this. Filburt said to search, so it has to be in a forum somewhere.

i think it's described on vb.com :)

but you just have to change all admin/ calls in your files, you won't find more information, as this is all ;)

i send in member araea

and told me ask in vb.org??
what i do now?

[Xenon]

as i said, you have to rename admin/ reference in all files which have it in them.

[WEForums]

Use something like Notepad and use the replace option. Save a lot of time... (assuming there aren't any other admin/ uses...)

[Dean C]

Why does it reference it as admin/filename.php?

As all the admin files are in the same dir why can't they just use include("filename.php"); ?

Maybe some root files require the admin folder? I'm not sure though.

[filburt1]

global.php in the root directory will need to require config.php which is in the admin directory. Also some of the redirects and even template links point to admin locations.

[Xenon]

there are files which are needed in every directory but just stored in admin/

best example like filburt said is config.php or functions.php....
also the mod/ files have some references to admin/

[timo_copts]

ok good Could it be an option on the future in the admin area...

[Xenon]

in vb3 you can change the admin dir without changein anything except the config file :)

[timo_copts]

when i can download it?

[timo_copts]
