external view folder ?

[eluser]Avatar[/eluser]
if you use linux you can do this from command prompt and it will just work.

Code:

cd /path/to/docroot
ln -sf /path/to/system/views templates

nootice it's creating a link called templates in docroot pointing to your view templates
in my application folder and my system folder (if you moved application out of system, otherwise just system)I have a h.taccess file with this in it:

Code:

option -indexes
RewriteEngine on
deny from all

this effectively blocks any entry to the system and application folders and if you have a folder in your application/views/assets you can add an htaccess file with the same as above only

Code:

Allow from all

this does everything you would want if I understand correctly with barely any code at all. Hope this helps. Have a wonderful day.
