Changing the folder names in indexu

[ideavirus]

Hii,

Okay, i have solved the problems i had with the installation, by making the frresh installation.

The problem is...My hosting control panel has the folder name admin .. which cannot be changed...so i have to change the names of the admin folders in indexu...and its affecting the functionality of the admin section for me.

when i login to the admin section, it takes me to my hostinging control panel login...I have changed the names of the folders with the name admin.....after doing that , do i have to change any files...so that it works fine..??

Also, when someone registers, i get an email..with the url pointing to the indexu.com/demo in it...where exactly do i change this url variable..the same happens when someone registers to become an editor...!

thanks for any help in advance

Cheers

You can change the "admin" folder with name that doesn't point to special page in your hosting. "adm" will be fine I guess. You must change the files contain "admin/" text with "adm/", you can find those files with your editor.

Well ... it's easy. Just rename /admin folder to anyname you like:
- /admini

to access it:
http://yourdomain.com/admini/

You do not need to change any code.

Would you like to tell me which options are not working?

No you do not need to change name of admin_tpl
You may need to change the following codes in all files in /admin folder, pointing to your new admin folder.

if($users_obj->GetUserAuthentication(0)!=0){
  $back_url = urlencode("admin/link_validate_edit.php");
  header("Location: ../login.php?f=1&b=$back_url");
}
