Hi,

I'm wondering if anybody has any interest in / made progress towards a patch allowing a project structure that's more like this:

 site

 +-- extension
 +-- Exponential
 +-- settings
 +-- var
 +-- bootstrap.php

Seems to be a more sensible approach for maintainability etc or maybe I'm just being weird?

Hi Stevo,

That is a tricky & interesting topic. Not sure why you are including var here ?
Other than this, i usually version my Exponential projects according to the structure described above (but for the 'Exponential' directory, obviously), then using symlinks to place the versioned dirs at the right location within the Exponential dir. Not sure to understand the role of bootstrap.php either.

Cheers !

Hello Stevo,

An interesting idea you propose... one to discuss but I fear without real vision one that would prove rather clumsy to implement.

Cheers,

@Nicolas

I include var as it's contents are site specific.

Yes, currently I use symlinks similar to what you describe but I find it a pain + tend to develop on windows.

The idea of bootstrap.php is that it modifies include path etc then includes relevant index*.php

@kracker

Yeah, I started having a poke around and it proved more difficult than I was anticipating. Hmm, can't remember what the sticking point was now. Might have another go soon...

Thanks for the replies guys
