Custom installation paths

[mbrodala]

Currently this plugin requires/enforces the following structure:

• <path-to-document-root>
  • <document-root>
  • composer.json
  • typo3_src
  • typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3
  • index.php -> typo3_src/index.php

The following structure would be quite useful instead:

• <path-to-document-root>
  • composer.json
  • typo3_src
  • <document-root>
  • typo3 -> ../typo3_src/typo3
  • index.php -> ../typo3_src/index.php

This keeps the publicly exposed data to a minimum but requires a different directory/symlink setup which could be achieved if the installation paths where configurable similar to composer/installers.

Please consider allowing custom installation paths.

I guess this is a better solution, isn't it? http://typo3.helmut-hummel.de/post/102899003500/delivering-a-more-secure-frontend-with-typo3-cms

It's one option but requires a lot more work than just being able to have custom installation paths.

We want to allow more flexibility regarding the directory layout, but for this we need to refactor some things in the TYPO3 core to allow us so. We have a roadmap for that and started already some work in this direction.

I'll close this issue, because it's already on our agenda for the next version of this plugin.

@tmaroschik Looking forward to it. :-)
