I love the openness of open source software projects!  I want to continue to thank everyone for their feedback, both in terms of design, features, and bug reports and bug fixes.

Case in point: in all my projects, i've never needed to install this framework (or any other framework-type of thing) within a subfolder of a docroot.  So, I simply assumed that everyone else did the same thing, and that there was no need to support having Qcodo installed in a directory OTHER than docroot.

One of the biggest surprises to date with qcodo is how much feedback came in by people wanting to be able to do just that.

I've gone ahead and put in that functionality - and I'm pleasantly surprised as to how useful it is... not  just to have qcodo in a subfolder, but also the ability to have multiple qcodo instances installed within the same docroot at once (although i wouldn't recommend that for production - it's been interesting to play with from a development environment standpoint).

Anyway -- keep the changes/suggestions/bugs/etc. coming!

Code has been checked in that incorporates subfolder support (you specify subfolder preferences in prepend.inc), as well as many of the bug fixes/reports that have been posted.

This is actually precisely what turned me off to RoR: if you want to install it anywhere but the docroot, you're in for a lot of headache. As a language, Ruby sounds quite utopian. Its association with Rails goes beyond peanut butter and jelly. Since Ruby wasn't designed specifically to be embedded in HTML and PHP was, I decided to stick with the latter. Guess it's a good thing I did, or I might never have run into Qcodo. Loving the look of your framework and can't wait to see it out of beta!

I would like to take this one step further.  Not sure if anyone has worked on this yet or not.

What I would like to do is move every file that is not accessed directly by the browser out of DOCROOT.

Has anyone done this?  Example settings?  Are their wholesale file changes that must be made to accomplish this?

rodholm's idea is nice... i'll see if i can do that and post my results here..

and yeah Mike, people should be allowed to put QCodo site in a subfolder at their docroot... for various reasons.. :)

regards,
Kami.
