Due to some... bad decisions... I made when starting phpVMS, template files are pretty much plain-text. Even though I've posted instructions, and included in the default install instructions on how to add the .htaccess, there's still ways of getting someone's template files. This is causing all sorts of problems with theft.
So what I'm thinking of doing are two things:
Renaming all template files from. tpl to .php - this allows for the PHP code to be hidden
Adding a code-check to make sure phpVMS is calling the template, and if not, nothing shows
This will be a backwards incompatible change, but I feel like it's worth it. The second part to this is - I will include instructions on how to do this for your current install.
I want to make other drastic changes to templates (mainly organization and moving them around), but I don't know if this is worth it - mainly organizing the templates by module in separate folders (which is the standard of how it's done).
What are people's thoughts on this? Any guinea pigs?
