How to rename admin directory

[Amato]

Hi! How rename site.com/admin/ to site.com/myname/ ?

 

[Rodolfo]

You want a complety rename like /myname is the new admin and /admin doesn't do anything?

I want change admin directory from site.com/admin/ to site.com/xxx/

There isn't a easy way to do this like a configurable value but yet you can still do it editing 2 files. First of all make sure that the admin folder has been renamed and then open includes/chevereto.php and change this:

define('__CHV_FOLDER_ADMIN__', 'admin/');

To this:

define('__CHV_FOLDER_ADMIN__', 'xxx/');

Then open includes/classes/class.handler.php and change this (it appears two times in this file, change both of them):

$this->base_request!=='admin'

To this:

$this->base_request!=='xxx'

And you will have moved the admin folder. I will enable this as a configurable option for 2.4
