a shared question about Shared and other folders..?
November 19, 2014 12:42PM
Hi,

Hope its fine to wonder outloud about the box file and folder structure..

* I understand that basically, modifications, added files and folders can easily come - be placed - inside the Shared folder. (eg: Shared/NewFolderName/etc..)

However:
* Why are there, for example, 2 board folders, one under usb/piratebox and another in opt/piratebox/www/

And
* Say one fancied the Shared folder as it is, but wants to later the look: what exactly makes the 2 txt files (header and footer) appear with their content? (html content)

Just pointing out a few seeming peculiarities. Am probably noting stuff out of ignorance for the reason they were made. However, it will be good to understand the reasons.
If however, there are people involved in - if possible - simplifing the structure, I'd be very interested to now of ideas and how if possible to join the effort..

Cheers and all the best!

Hi,
the board folder under /opt/piratebox/share is linked to the USB stick, so they are the same (on the USB Stick).

The two textfiles are simply responsible for the look and feel of the directory listing.
