admin directory

I have changed my admin directory to another name, but I don't think your logic will allow for that.

Thanks.

Yes, it's better not to rename admin directory in OpenShop.

If you want to do this anyway, you will loose the ability to receive autoupdates.

Also you will have problems with all vQmod tweaks that relate to admin side.

Could your logic look at the config.php file and strip off the data at the end of HTTP_ADMIN? I'm sure I'm not the only one taking that step to secure their store.

The problem is not in OpenShop logic only. All vQmods posted at Opencart.com look for files at admin directory, as there are no mechanism to alias it for them.

Instead of renaming admin directory you can restict all web-access to it and create symbolic link to it with another secure name.
