Custom Data Directory Location?
#5
Damn it, this is what I was afraid of. Having the data folder web accessible is a security and hacking issue.

I tried to create a GSDATAPATH and move the data folder to a non web accessible location, but the requests for the directoy /data/ are located in many locations which is hard-coded using /data/ instead of a common GSDATAPATH or even GSROOTPATH.

I can certainly go and edit all of the core files but then that makes it a big issue when you need to do an update.

This makes using Get Simple CMS not possible as the site will be at to much risk of being hijacked.

Maybe a future update will allow us to move the data directory out of the public_html folder and to a non direct web accessible folder.

Cheers

GW
