rearrange files of the application in folders

[Pedro Alonso]

Hello,

I'd like to help you out to rearrange the files of the application in several folders and just let in the root the index.php file. I will have several applications hosted in the root folder and I don't like the idea of have that big amount of .php files in the root folder. What do you think about that? would it require a lot of code rewriting?

thanks,
Pedro

Hello
you should have a root folder (eg. /var/www/prestashop/) .
In that folder you'll find the whole prestashop architecture

[Pedro Alonso]

but what if I want to host prestashop in the main domain: domain.com which folder is ~/public_html/

I don't want to create a subfolder ~/public_html/prestashop/* becuase then the url of the shop would be domain.com/prestashop.

The idea that I am proposing is to rearrange the files in the same way that's done in wordpress, not a major change I think, then I can store prestashop in ~/public_html/ and I'll have just one index.php and several folders named ps_whatever ... does it make sense?

thx!

it is not corret to put or to modify prestashop because you want to have a root folder public_html.

You can create VirtualHost with Aapche

yes I can. I don't want to modify prestashop and keep the chagnes locally. If I can agree with the team to rearrange it for the next release I am volunteer to do it. Otherwise I'll make a workaround to make it work as I want. I am talking about helping and support the team to improve the source code of the solution.

thx
