PHP Directory Listing (FREE) - NEW VERSION/NEW NAME

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Sun Feb 12, 2012 7:19 pm

This version is a replacement for the earlier version known as DirectoryListing.

The changes in this version are extensive and there are numerous new customisable features and improved control properties including editable headers, customisable breadcrumb, the ability to have a transparent background, show or hide the File Listing header, show or hide the file size and dates and improved property names. File display lengths have been increased to 256 characters (the old version was set to 43). And the display can be set to any width, where before it was a fixed width.

What is it?
The extension provides a customisable presentation of files and folders on your server.
You can
• set an automatic display of image thumbnails if required,
• exclude folders and only show files,
• exclude specific files or file types,
• allow file uploads
• customise the headings, or hide them.
• show or hide file sizes and dates.

Demos available from my demo site - see links in signature.

Produced using EB3.0 and tested in WWB8

No worries Jordan. I've just sneaked in another minor update too - added several new icons and code to support Open Office documents, a .csv icon and an updated Acrobat icon.

I really like this extension. I have several government clients with mega amounts of pdf agendas.

Fantastic! Thank you

I'm trying to use the latest release of the Directory Listing extension.
I can not control the location or front to back positioning. The results all show up at the very top and behind all other objects.
I can not see any settings in the extension that control the location or z index of the directory listing extension.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

As clearly stated in the help file..."I was unable to find a method to display the extension within a normal WWB page other than by creating a Directory Listing page and then calling that page into a WWB page using an iFrame.". Read the fie for more information.

I downloaded this extension from the WB Extension Manager. Where can I find the Help File for PHP Directory Listing?

Thanks

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Mon May 28, 2012 10:59 pm

1. Same place as all extensions - extension manager > getting started.

2. There is a link to the same PDF in the extension. Click into the extension and look at the bottom of the window.

3. The same PDF is available from my demo site.

Do you have a URL I can look at so I can better understand what you are looking for.

maxime · Post by **maxime** » Thu Jan 31, 2013 3:49 pm

ok i have a found the way to do it. i have to put the extension on a layer so if my layer is 600 px the result (the directory) will be show with a size of 600 px . If i do not put it on a layer the result (directory ) will be full screen, i mean if my screen is 1024 the the resukt will show with a widt of 1024.

I hope is clear and you understand what i mean.

I have not yet looked at how my extensions work with WWB9. But by default WWB9 will use the later jQuery file 1.9.1. This extension uses jQuery 1.7.2. So until I can dig deeper all you need to do now is to open your project file, open the page where the extension is used and change the page properties miscellaneous tab and select jQuery 1.7.2, then publish and that should fix the problem.

EDIT 09/07/13 :
The extension doesn't use jQuery. Silly me. It's just PHP and some javascript.
But there is an error when published in WWB9 but not in WWB8. See later post.

Hi Paul please read the following regarding this, in WB 9 the user can switch between 1.7.2 and 1.9.1

Errr....isn't that what I posted?

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 12:17 pm

There is a problem but I can't work out why. The same code works OK in a WWB8 published page but not in WWB9.

The error message seen in WWB9 published pages is:-

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/aditerum/public_html/demo/XXX/list1/listing.php on line 288

And line 288 of PHP in question is:-

Code: Select all

<div><a href="<?php echo $fileurl;?>" target="_self" class="<?php echo $class;?>" <?php="" echo="" $thumb2;?="">><img src="<?php echo $includeurl; ?>dlf/<?php echo $icon;?>" alt="<?php echo $files[$i];?>"/><strong><?php echo $filename;?></strong> <em><?php echo round(filesize($includeurl.$leadon.$files[$i])/1024);?> Kb -    <?php echo date ("M d Y h:i:s A", filemtime($includeurl.$leadon.$files[$i]));?></em><?php echo $thumb;?></a></div>

As I understood it, this error message generally means a closing php tag is missing e.g. ?> but [a] why would it work in WWB8 and not in 9 and as far as I can see all closing tags are in place...so maybe it is something else?

We need George!!!

WWBman · Post by **WWBman** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 2:42 pm

I am in no way a php expert but it seems that there are 3 extraneous ="" in that line. I don't know what should have been generated by the extension.
If you remove these it works (on my test).
I have no idea why it should be like this on wwb9.

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 3:14 pm

WWBman,

Good spot! You are 100% accurate ... but something odd is happening...

The code in Extension Builder reads:-

Code: Select all

<div><a href="<?php echo $fileurl;?>" target="$targetwindow$" class="<?php echo $class;?>"<?php echo $thumb2;?>><img src="<?php echo $includeurl; ?>dlf/<?php echo $icon;?>" alt="<?php echo $files[$i];?>" /><strong><?php echo $filename;?></strong> <em><?php echo round(filesize($includeurl.$leadon.$files[$i])/1024);?> Kb -    <?php echo date ("M d Y h:i:s A", filemtime($includeurl.$leadon.$files[$i]));?></em><?php echo $thumb;?></a></div>

And as you can see those three ="" are not there.

With the page published using WWB8 I get this :-

Code: Select all

<div><a href="<?php echo $fileurl;?>" target="_self" class="<?php echo $class;?>"<?php echo $thumb2;?>><img src="<?php echo $includeurl; ?>dlf/<?php echo $icon;?>" alt="<?php echo $files[$i];?>" /><strong><?php echo $filename;?></strong> <em><?php echo round(filesize($includeurl.$leadon.$files[$i])/1024);?> Kb -    <?php echo date ("M d Y h:i:s A", filemtime($includeurl.$leadon.$files[$i]));?></em><?php echo $thumb;?></a></div>

But if I publish the same page using WWB9 I get this :-

Code: Select all

<div><a href="<?php echo $fileurl;?>" target="_self" class="<?php echo $class;?>" <?php="" echo="" $thumb2;?="">><img src="<?php echo $includeurl; ?>dlf/<?php echo $icon;?>" alt="<?php echo $files[$i];?>"/><strong><?php echo $filename;?></strong> <em><?php echo round(filesize($includeurl.$leadon.$files[$i])/1024);?> Kb -    <?php echo date ("M d Y h:i:s A", filemtime($includeurl.$leadon.$files[$i]));?></em><?php echo $thumb;?></a></div>

Pablo....need your input here I think.

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 4:50 pm

The problem of the extraneous ="" is caused by the HTML Beautifier setting. Once turned off the problem is eliminated. Pablo has been notified and he will look at a fix in the next update.

Isn't he awesome!

Hi, it`s please possible add language translation possiblity for all text used into this extension? When my domestic language is not english, I manualy change always in generated code some words ( in section (3) "Sort by Filename", etc.), date and time formats, etc. Some texts is possible changed (as "File upload Title"), but not all. This same is with date and time format, we use in my country (and in most next European countries) different format - maybe best idea is possiblility to change default parameters for generated php date function.
I can help you with this or when you be agrre and send me part of source code, i can made this for you.
My next thing is possibility hide sections (1) or (2), this has been in most cases duplicated and as last
add possibility to be user can add pictures for users added file types.

Thanks for this extension.

Updated version available from Extension Manager.

A new section "Configurable Text" allows you to set the heading text for the three columns. I have also provided an option list for the data formats. For simplicity I have provided 8 date configuration options, using the international date standard ISO 8601. ( International standard ISO 8601 (Representation of dates and times) defines unambiguous written all-numeric big-endian formats for dates, such as 1999-12-31 for 31 December 1999, and time, such as 23:59:58 for 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 58 seconds. )

I went into Extension Manager to update and it didn't show the update for PHP Directory Listing.
I currently have version 3.0.1 installed 08/29/2013.
Should it have shown the update and what version is the updated one?

I would uninstall that first. Then try again.

Yes Pablo advised me about that but there's nothing much I can do about that. If there is a PHP Guru out there who'd like to dissect the code and make any improvements so HTML Beautifier works with it then I'm happy to work with them.

Many of my older extensions were built using earlier versions of Extension Builder. As time passes and updates are made I am ONLY using the latest version of Extension Builder. Therefore [a] no uwbx file is required and you are advised to UNINSTALL previous versions before installing the newer versions.

I will look at the other post and respond in that.

Hi, I use in one my project many filenames with version info in name. The filenames has named as: File1_version_1.1.pdf, File1_version_1.2.pdf, ... (it`s not only .pfd files).
When I cannot change the file names and must use version numbering for the files, I don`t show this files in directory, because after the first dot in name (version) is for PHP DL not correct extension.
It`s possible made changes to accept dots in filenames and show this files ?
Thanks.

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:31 am

Technically it is OK to use periods in filenames but I wouldn't recommend it. I wouldn't use ANY special characters personally even though there are only 9 on the keyboard you can't use. The main reason NOT to use multiple periods is because anti virus software hates them.

As for changing the extension to cater for multiple periods in filenames I might be able to do that but I am not sure. However I wont even be able to look at that possibility until December. I am away on holiday from Monday 4th and will not be back until the 15th and then I have two large web projects to work on and I may even have a third so my time will be very limited.

So you'll have to live with the extension as it is for now and until at least early December. However, I would recommend you changed your naming convention.

I am trying to use this extension, please have a look at : http://www.semac.org.au/ -> Past Newsletters (last menu option), how can I place the listing further up the page and how can I avoid it showing the folder name at the top

Hope someone can help

alex4orly wrote:Hello,

1. You seem to have worked out how not to show the folder

2. Change the padding from 100px to 10px in the extension and republish. Or manually edit the padding in the published CSS file so you can change the padding for just the top. At the moment the extension uses a CSS statement of padding:XXpx; (where XX is the value you enter into the extension). This causes ALL four borders to use the same padding value. If you change it back to 10px it will fill the page better and will be closer to the top of the page. If you manually edit the css you will need to set padding for all sides e.g. padding:10px 50px 20px 50px; where the sequence is TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM and then finally LEFT.

alex4orly · Post by **alex4orly** » Wed Mar 16, 2016 7:53 pm

Hello Adendum,

1) I didn't manage to remove the directory name, it is still there
2) Not sure which padding should I change, I changed the one in File list container styling from 100 to 10, but that didn't fix it.

I prefer to do it through the system rather than manually edit the source code which I am going by trial and error (mostly error), and will be happy if I can fill up the page better

So, looking forward to your instructions
Cheers

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Wed Mar 16, 2016 8:52 pm

Alex,

Open the extension on your page and look for the setting that has a 100px value in it. If memory serves it is in section F.

But when I look at your site again I see you have already changed it,
