Files Structure

File structure
We have a very easy file structuring. It was designed to have an easy access. Unlike the typical MVP approach we followed somewhat inspired by Wordpress.
So when you download ClipBucket you will the structure as follow.
​
Root
- do_not_upload
- upload
/do_not_upload  directory
This directory has just one file - in case you lose your password as admin, you can upload this file to recover it.
/upload directory
Where all the source code is present, the name is somewhat confusing, its because it was written in the days when you simply upload the files, so we created a folder named 'upload' so that users understands which content are required to upload.
Its the ROOT of our software...actually.
Folders in the upload directory are as follows
- actions
- admin_area
- ajax
- api
- cache
- cb_install
- files
- images
- includes
- js
- player
- plugins
- styles
/actions
It has basic files which are called when file upload request is made and when conversion request is asked for.  For Vodlix, It has a different purpose
