[quote author="Phil Sturgeon" date="1280073303"]They moved application folder outside of system folder in 2.0 a while ago and added some .htaccess rules to restrict that sort of thing.
There is no reason to add your assets in the view folder, put them in the root.[/quote]
I see now about the moving the application folder out of system, that's cool. That was actually an optional "feature" you could/can do in 1.7.2 and I started doing because I rather liked it. I will have to play with more later tonight.
I will have to play with the htaccess. I started using the new one on 1.7.2 and haven't had a problem accessing assets.
