Build my site in a folder other than "tutorial" ?
16 November 2008 at 1:18pm
I'm definitely new at this, but I've been trying to find an answer to this all afternoon with no luck. All of the tutorials are building a site in the directory "tutorial." It doesn't seem obvious to me how one sets up their site in a different directory, like "appname." For production it doesn't seem to make sense to build my app in the "tutorial" folder. What am I not getting here?
Thanks.

Ah, you can put it any subfolder under your silverstripe root. Just make sure you have the _config.php file there and you're good to go.
"What the heck?" you might say...
Any subfolder of your silverstripe root can define page types, have templates, etc. This is how modules work. When you run /build/db, SilverStripe finds those folders with _config.php files and adds those datamodels to your site.
So you could build the basic functionality of your site into a folder called '/mysite/'. You could also put the code for a forum in your /mysite/ directory too - OR you could put it into a new /forum/ folder - SilverStripe doesn't care!
Hope this helps!

I was just about to ask this question too. It's a bit silly that the SilverStripe tutorial only sets you up for working in the tutorial folder. Imo the tutorial folder should be able to be deleted at any time without losing anything important, yet the tutorials get you to put everything in it

In 2.3, everything is done in mysite/, with the tutorial just being a theme, thus you can delete it with ease.
