Different Extensions .html .txt

Hi there,

just a short questions / discussion / suggestion about the new extensions: As far as I figured out from the latest CVS Snapshot, you're going to use .html as the extension for the styles and .txt for some email templates. - If I'm wrong just correct me...

Therefore I didn't understand the reason, but how are you / we going to avoid that this can be read out via direct http access? Do I have to disallow these for the Apache Server? Or are there any other suggestions?

Thanks so far,
Sven

If you want to disallow html files then put this in .htaccess and upload that .htaccess to directory "styles":

Code: Select all

<Files ~ "\.html$">
 Order allow,deny
 Deny from all
 Satisfy All
</Files>

You can do that, but I don't see any reason to do that. They don't contain passwords or anything like that.

Blah. CyberAlien posted the same time I did.

Thanks guys!

I know this... as I wrote, but why didn't you to continue using these tpl-files (which had no other use than templates and therefore has not to bereached by users via browser anyway) or simple php format?

I now, this stuff doesn't contain any vital information, but I like to keep things away from user, which are not for his eyes...

Just my opinion (and I didn't expect any changes, just want to understand the reasons),

Some HTML editors don't know that .tpl is a HTML file and they make problems with it (for example - don't show on the file list). So .html is better extension.

and people can read tpl files from the server anyway.

I know, but blocking tpl-files from users dosen't matter, but html files can have proper reasons to be shown...even if you normally wouldn't store them in the styles folder, but who knows...

And what are those proper reasons? There is absolutely no difference if extension is .tpl or .html - it can be read same way by browsers.
