problem encrypting tpl files with ionCube

[ramin]

have designed a theme for prestashop 1.4 and i want to encrypt it with ioncube 7

my problem is that when i test my theme after encryption of tpl files the in homepage shows the codes instead of homepage!

when i encode php files everything is allright!

i think that the problem is with smarty 3!

You see, god punishes little sins immediately

Why on earth do you want to encrypt a theme file?

If you are going to sell it your customers won't be allowed to edit it?

No,

 

i override classes and controllers to put all css file in a single file

 

and now i want to encrypt tpl file for selling theme with ioncube encoder

 

 

i design this theme for RTL language like Persian

 

so most of change in css and tpl file

 

i change the functionality a liitle

 

 

for RTL language there is some secret you nedd to apply. (otherwise theme does not operate correctly)

i apply this secret in tpl file

and want to encrypt it

And your customers are only allowed to edit the css? What if somebody wants to make some more advanced changes? Honestly, I have never seen a theme that was encrypted with ioncube (and would never buy an encryptet one). You should state this in your theme description because being able to edit theme files is something I would expect if buying a theme.

i dont want to sell it on prestashop or templatemonsters

i descrisbe this restriction.

 

 

with the open source tpl file theme stealing is not a hard work

!!

I understand your concern regarding somebody copying your work but on the other side I think that you should trust in the quality of your work. If your work is good it will sell regardless if somebody is copying it. There will never be a 100% protection. Ioncube may protect your code but it can also deter customers from buying and can even create problems in some hosting environments. There is always a downside with open source as well as with ioncube.

i agree with you

 

but in a country like iran people does not obey copyright
