# Folder reference

# /Adapter

Contains the default adapter classes providing an interface to interact with Db, entity, hooks used in QloApps, and much more.

# /admin

The admin directory contains the main endpoint to access the Back Office. When accessing this folder with your browser, you will be asked for your employee credentials. This directory is renamed automatically when you install it from a ZIP package and access it for the first time.

It contains the following subdirectories:

  • /autoupgrade: scratch directory for the 1-click upgrade module
  • /backups: contains database backups generated from the back-office
  • /export: contains data export files
  • /filemanager: sources for the back-office file manager
  • /import: contains data import files
  • /themes: contains the templates for two back-office themes, default and new-theme

# /cache

  • Object models
  • Utility classes (like Db, Helper, Tools…)

# /config

Contains bootstrapping and configuration files. Unless asked, you should never edit them, as they are directly handled by QloApps’ installer and back office.
