hello vivvo,
first off all thanks so much for this wonderfull script...
and now i would like to change my admin folder if you give me advice off course... i do not would like to be this folder like this one >>> "mysite.com/admin"
i dont want hackers to find my admin folder easly ... i want to change my admin folder like this one >> mysite.com/abuhub i hope you understand me.
and dear vivvo, i would like to change my php short cuts which seems on the browser. for example: http://localhost/y/index.php?author=demo1
now, i do not would like to this ones " ?author=demo1 "
or just this one " ? "
i want to change this like this one " index.phpSauthor=demo1 "
so it must be
http://localhost/y/index.phpSauthor=demo1"
anyway i would like to use "S" word or any word instead of "?" .
why do i want to this?
hackers write in the google some short ways... and they find so many web sites which use vivvo manager.. after then they begin the attack..
i dont want any hackers to find my web site with vivvo manager.
i hope you understand my 2 questions.. please give me 2 advise sirs.
hans berger, thank you...

To rename admin folder, choose the folder name during installation and then change it manually in FTP.
The author URL: you obviously don't have mod_rewrite on your localhost, so it cannot go without "?" mark.

hi again dear vivvo..
i didnt open new topic for my new questions. please dont abuse on me :)
i ve got some questions forawhile.. (i am using 3.40 licenced version)
first, i made 5 templates with vivvo.. but now i have a problem with using 5 templates in the same time.. for example; in the vivvo 3.5 (i saw it from the vivvo demo) admin can change the template from admin area.. moreever i ve got 5 templates :) how can i add 5 templates to admin area, and change it from the admin area?
and, i do not want guest users to come in to admin area as writer for a article.. it s not necesarary i think.. because they are just guest.. guest must not come in admin area with their user name and password..
i want guest users to just write comments.. and i havent got 3.5 ( you are going to tell me upgrade to 3.5) but i would like to work with 3.4.. bacause; i made templates with it, and i added so so many ajax,javascript,tags,menus and vs. codes.. i changed so much codes and added so much php codes.. i cant upgrade it anymore.. please understand me :)
and, comments problem.. everybody can write comment. this is so bad. only users must have to write comment.. isnt it possible with 3.4 ?
i am using active style sheet and moreever... and i cant change my vivvo. i love vivvo su much :)

Even in 3.5 it is not easy. In admin folder and other places there are hundreds of entries of ../admin references in various files. All need to be changed for the application to work correctly. I doubt if it is a feasible solution.

Looking inside code if you change in all the files included admin folder , the entrance admin/..... or ../admin/templates to newname/..... or ../newname/templates could be possibel to do...
i'm very interested in this feature .. i saw some people writing thinks about hacking , and any chance to avoid any defacement is better than nothing.
thanks
Choose the name for admin folder during installation, and then physically rename it via FTP. That will work.
