 |
|
If you ever installed e107, you know that you seen that it installs some default folders such as, e107_admin, e107_plugins, and so on.
I will explain how you can rename these folders to your own liking.
IT IS EASY!
First login to your hosting providers file manager.
Second in the root of the e107 install folder you should find a file "e107_config.php"
Download and open with your favorite text editor.
The file should look like this:
| Code: |
<?php
/*
+----------------------------------------------------+
| e107 website system
| e107_config.php
|
| ©Steve Dunstan 2001-2002
| http://e107.org
| jalist@e107.org
|
| Released under the terms and conditions of the
| GNU General Public License (http://gnu.org).
+----------------------------------------------------+
This file has been generated by the installation script.
*/
$mySQLserver = 'sqlservername';
$mySQLuser = 'databaseusername';
$mySQLpassword = 'databasepassword';
$mySQLdefaultdb = 'e107database';
$mySQLprefix = 'e107_'; - Do NOT EDIT THIS - it is used to find the e107 tables.
$ADMIN_DIRECTORY = "e107_admin/";
$FILES_DIRECTORY = "e107_files/";
$IMAGES_DIRECTORY = "e107_images/";
$THEMES_DIRECTORY = "e107_themes/";
$PLUGINS_DIRECTORY = "e107_plugins/";
$HANDLERS_DIRECTORY = "e107_handlers/";
$LANGUAGES_DIRECTORY = "e107_languages/";
$HELP_DIRECTORY = "e107_docs/help/";
$DOWNLOADS_DIRECTORY = "e107_files/downloads/";
?>
|
It looks confusing but i will explain,
This location here:
| Code: |
$ADMIN_DIRECTORY = "e107_admin/";
$FILES_DIRECTORY = "e107_files/";
$IMAGES_DIRECTORY = "e107_images/";
$THEMES_DIRECTORY = "e107_themes/";
$PLUGINS_DIRECTORY = "e107_plugins/";
$HANDLERS_DIRECTORY = "e107_handlers/";
$LANGUAGES_DIRECTORY = "e107_languages/";
$HELP_DIRECTORY = "e107_docs/help/";
$DOWNLOADS_DIRECTORY = "e107_files/downloads/";
|
You can change the directory names, i would change the e107_admin to something different. for example change "e107_admin/" to "administrator/"
Ok after you are done changing the varibles, don't forget to rename the directories via your hosting providers file manager. ex FTP
I hope i broke it down good enough, reasons why you should edit this.
1. Make Search Engine Friendly URLS
2. Increase your security ie renaming e107_admin folder
