If, for any reason, You don't like Apache directory listing output You can change it to look SEXY by using Digital Archive PHP scripts. Digital Archive achieves this functionality by altering DirectoryIndex directive in Apache global httpd.conf configuration file or local .htaccess configuration files. DirectoryIndex Apache directive tells Apache which page to show when certain directory is accessed. Normaly this is page named index.php or index.html, but it can also be an absolute server URI path to a PHP script like /~user/digital_archive/da.php , which then parses current directory entries and outputs them in a SEXY directory listing.

Image Functions - thumbnails, lowsize:
One would use image functions to create Image Gallery with photos taken
for example by a digital camera. Images of new digital cameras could be
quite large, so it is nice to be able to see the thumbnails before
downloading whole file. Digital Archive can create thumbnails of JPG photos
and show them instead of icons. Another usefull function is creation of
lowsize images. When user clicks on thumbnail or filename, he is presented
with lower quality and lower size photo than original, to preview it before
downloading full original. If he decides, user can
finally download an original full size, full quality photo.
Drawbacks: + bad HTML, tested only with IE, looks OK on Mozilla, but it could look better + for thumbnail and lowsize creation, directory permissions must be set to Apache user writeable ...I am working on it. Requirements: - Apache 1.3.x or 2.x required, PHP 4.x required - gdlib compiled in PHP if You need image manipulation support My questions to the world: + Does anybody have an idea how to convince Mozilla to recognise background-color: CSS command ? + Does Mozilla suck ? + Send answers to Rok.Krulec@codeartists.com Todo: * some kind of module extensions * more filetype descriptions * different types of sorting * file manipulation with session authentication = maintainer mode * description manipulation via web interface ...
