Manually creating directory in site root: problematic?
Permalink
Just in case I break anything, will creating a directory like site_root/mobile/ with non-c5 content interfere with my concrete5 website?
I haven't got it to hand to test but everything should rewrite to concrete based on the htaccess getting there first but if you add something like this above your index rewriteRule in your htaccess file it should work
Just tested and I didn't need to modify the htaccess at all just add the directory and go with no problems I could see, however, if you have pretty URLs turned on then ensure you use the correct casing when linking to the new directory.
Hi Kieran, many thanks for testing this out for me. All of my URLs are lower case so hopefully there won't be any problems there. I guess because my directory name is unique from 'config', 'helpers' etc and is separate from the main CMS site Concrete won't actually take notice of it at all? Can anybody clarify this is correct?
Concrete 5 will only take notice of the directories within the directory structure. As long as your directory isn't called any of these then you are good.
