Dear Forma users,

First of all well done for the latest updated, our team has just started evaluating the changes looks great.

We are trying to figure out some new features, most importantly, it seems additional security measures have been added, these are not allowing us to run some custom pages we developed and placed in the /file directory. Are we correct in assuming this is done by design and we now need to use /customscript directory.

Thanks

Nick

The /files directory and sub-directory are not designed to keep runnble scripts as php pages .
The folder and subfolders allow you to store only static files: images, html , javascript, css , swf , movies, mp3 and documents ( as specified in the white list )

Customscripts folder is used by forma.lms to execute PHP files that overlay standard files. IE: if you need to change a standard file , made a copy of it in customscripts and then modify these one. so you can isolate your modification .

You can put your original new files in customscript folder or create a new folder in the root directory (best choice)
