    Request for Framework/Skin Settings

    Is it possible to have the pages be deleted from the dreamweaver_templates folder once they have been successfully imported?

    Here's my current process:
    Log in to Miva Merchant admin
    Mark pages to export if I want to make changes
    Open up dreamweaver and synchronize the dreamweaver_template folder with my local machine (deleting files that don't exist on the web)
    Edit pages that I need to
    Synchronize the local folder (putting to web)
    Mark pages for import in MM5 admin

    While I plan on making all of the big changes to my site's skins using Dreamweaver, I know that any simple changes that need to be made will still be made using the simple editor in admin. If I make a simple change, then export only some of the skin (which will be my normal process - not to export the entire skin every time), I now have a mixture of current and outdated pages. From here, I can accidentally undo simple changes I made.

    Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I don't see any reason not to delete the exported files after they are imported.

    Request #2: Added security. Currently I can browse to the exported pages if I know the very long URL. While I know that usually people just say "no one will ever guess that", we recently had a big security breach where someone "guessed" a long URL. I added a simple .htaccess file to the dreamweaver_template directory that prevents all http access, and I think that Miva Merchant should consider shipping with it:
    Code:
    #Deny all traffic from this folder [<data>/dreamweaver_templates/.htaccess]
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all

      Did you move those pages to the HTML area instead of the DATA area?

      Either way I think it's a good suggestion, just wondering?
      Thanks,

        Yeah, sorry, I meant to mention that in the post but got carried away and forgot I guess. Dreamweaver isn't really meant to download files outside of the web root so I had to move my files to <html> instead of <data>. Using <data> would be ideal, but then I would have to download/sync my entire server all the time and instead of just having my html files I would have much, much more.
