Hi Pablo,
I just purchased the Bootstrap File Listing extension. I have a folder with PDF files. I followed the instruction but nothing display. Can you please help me to troubleshoot? Thanks.

Hi Pablo,
I managed to resolve the problem. Is it that the file must be in "php"? Correct me if I am wrong.
However, I have another problem now. I can't open the pdf file. Please check the following link.

The file names should/cannot have spaces. Use an underscore (_) to separate the words of the file names, for example A_Pdf_file.pdf.

Hi Pablo,
Is bootstrap file listing responsive? I used it with layout grid. If I set it to column 3, 6, 3, it doesn't seems to work. It is not visible when I published it. So I adjusted to 1, 10, 1 it worked. However the display is not fit to the screen in mobile view. Can you have a look at the following

bootstrap file listing is flexible/responsive.
But, the length of the filenames determine the minimum width of the columns.

Thanks Pablo. Are you saying that my file name are too long?
What is the reason nothing display when I set the layout grid to 3,6,3

I noticed from the demo you have in the extension page, the mp3 file you have is also very long but it fix nicely on the mobile view. What is the best way to put it in the website. Can you please advise. Thanks.

The extension seems to be working correct.
However, because the file names are one word they cannot be broken into multiple lines.
The reason why it works in my example, is because the names have spaces so then the browser will wrap the text to the next line when the column becomes too small.
In other words, the filenames cannot be wider the minimum column width.
But this is unrelated to the listing being responsive or not.
