Change admin folder name

[davva]

Version of script: 2.2

#1
Hi there, I'm wondering if it is possible to rename the admin folder. Would it be sufficient to search/replace the relevant text in the .php files or does it also need some database changes?

#2
I'm looking for a way to auto fill in the name and email fields whenever someone (non-registered user) opens a new ticket, preferably by extracting the information from a cookie (this would be a cookie I have set earlier). Is this possible?

Thanks!

Like the "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING" topic says almost anything is possible, you just need to either have or hire someone with PHP knowledge. Most of the "is this possible" type of questions are out of the scope of my free support here.

#1 that should do it, try it and see if it works.

#2 possible sure, but such customizations are out of the scope of my support.

that's my problem too.

thanks for sharing some information about that.

Not sure if this will help, but if your concerned about people trying to break into the admin area you could just deny access to everyone but IP's that you use.

On a linux server you do this vi .htaccess if your host allows overrides

create a .htaccess file in the admin folder with this in it

<Limit GET POST>
deny from all
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.
</Limit>

just plug in your ip where the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is, notice you can leave off the last set of digits and allow the entire class C access.
