This is the plugin support thread for the SimpleDir plugin.
Written as a repose to a post in the general request forum this plugin will generate a CSS style-able directory listing. The plugin includes a bunch of filetype icons and a sample CSS file.
Now updated to include a configuration page (see attachment).
To Install:
Demo site here: http://testbed.cartocopia.com/simpledir-test-page/
Couple of notes:
You need to have the .htaccess file in the simpledir subdirectory - this redirects any file extension that does not match one of the provided icons to unknown.png
If you want to change/replace/add to the direcory icons, they are 16x16 png files (hardcoded right now) named <lowercase extension>.png so for example, if you wanted to create a new icon for file type mp4, you would create a new icon file (or copy one of the existing movie icons) to mp4.png as put it in that directory.
Any directory must be in the web path as the plugin just serves up links to the files and does not serve the files directly itself. (I'm still working on that one...)
There is fairly simple error checking (All periods are stripped from the subdir parameter to prevent directory traversals) so it will NOT work for subdirectories having a period in the dubdirectory name.

To Install:
- Unzip the file to your plugin directory.
- Navigate to the config page and enter your configuration.
- Create a page and include (% simpledir %) in the body of page - this will be replaced with the table.
- Copy and paste the CSS into your main theme CSS file, or include the css in a page template
