I installed b2 on my server a while back but I'd like to move the b2 files that sit in the root directory to a b2 directory... it's just too cluttered in there for me =)

I was thinking I'd move the b2 files, b2-img and b2-includes to a b2 dir... does anyone know what exactly I'd have to change in the code to do this? Or is it just too complicated?

Thanks for any help =)

I do not have b2 in my root directory, nor does anyone else I know; the only thing that you need to change is the includes throughout your templates, to make sure they point to the right place.

Did it last night and everything worked out =)

I'm sorry, I'm somewhat dim. :? Would someone mind specifying more clearly which of the b2 files can be moved to a subdirectory (I'm assuming everything except the main directory index file and b2comments.php), and what exactly needs to be changed in the template files for this to work?

I apologize if this is a painfully newbie question; I'm not nearly as familiar with PHP as I'd like to be. :)

I have everything in a subdirectory with the exception of b2archives.php (dodo's hacked version) and my index.php file.

[bansheeincanaan]

Ah, okay. Thanks. I will go looking for this hack.

Trace... just look at your templates, your index and archives templates have php includes in them, you need to convert them (the includes) to be relative to where your b2 installation really is, versus having it assume (as is the default) that b2 is in the same directory as your index.

I changed every reference to the templates that required it to point to the right place, and edited a couple of other files (such as b2comments.post.php) to redirect to the correct place after submission. It's not that difficult to do ... surprisingly easy infact.

Using chdir is probably the quickest cleanest way to accomplish it, but it wasn't really a suitable option for me as I use several includes - because my site is skinnable, having a clean and neat directory structure is important.

The way I did it, I just used a <?php include("b2/b2.php") ?> in my main page to get the blog to show. That works great for me. I had to correct some of the includes in other files also, but instead of going through all the hassle of changing directories and such, and to keep all the b2 files together.

That brings me to my question. I understand that when comments are posted, cookies are set on your computer so that the next time you want to post a comment, your name, e-mail, and url are already filled in. However, this doesn't work for me, probably because I am simply including the b2.php to my home page. Is there a way to set the cookie differently so that it will work with my set up? I'm not too familiar with how cookies are set and retrieved, so I'm not sure what I'd need to change.

If anyone needs more specific information from me about how my b2 is set up, please let me know, and I will post more pertinent information here.

Thank you in advance.

I moved all the files into a ./b2 directory and edited my index.php and comments.form.php to point to the ./b2 directory. Everything works except the smilies. Their path shows without ./b2 in it. If I change it in the smilies function, then the b2edit.php won't show them. So, how can I make it work for both files?

Your link to Fallen's hack is incomplete, but I can search for it.

Yes, I do have v0.6pre and I'm refering to the tag in b2template.functions.php (which would be in ./b2/b2-includes) shows as this:

I the exact same problem. I found the fix for this in Adam Walker's site.


change code: (found on <b2_root>\b2-include\b2edit.form.php)


$dir2open="./b2-img/smilies"; //dir 2 preview smilies
$dir2include="./b2/b2-img/smilies"; //dir 2 include smilies

to:

$dir2open="b2-img/smilies"; //dir 2 preview smilies
$dir2include="b2/b2-img/smilies"; //dir 2 include smilies


and code:

echo "<td><img src=\"$dir2open/$file\" onClick=\"smilie('$dir2include/$file')\"
style=\"cursor:hand\"></td>\n";

to code:

echo "<td><img src=\"$dir2open/$file\" onClick=\"smilie('$siteurl/$dir2include/$file')\"
style=\"cursor:hand\"></td>\n";

I'm seeing various people state they changed various files. I only edited my index.php file in two places. The first line:
