Plugin: List Contents

Nice work!

Another thought, this would be neat to have as a custom field in the CP. For example, some sites I built need to have large mp3’s uploaded through ftp. The person updating the site could then make a weblog post and select the file they posted from a list (this could save them making a typo).

Hi Brad,

Nice little plugin there, well done. I was trying to get it working like this though :

{exp:list_contents folder_url="{site_url}images/site/layout/" links="on" list_type="ol"}

Seems that won’t work as it comes up with :

Not a valid directory path:/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/example.com/httpdocshttp://www.example.com/images/site/layout/

Not too sure why it does that or what you would have to do to fix that but would be nice if it could work with the (as yet undocumented 😉 ) {site_url} variable.

Great addition though.

Best wishes,

Mark

That is a nice thought. Would make things really easy for clients and we all know that they need every little bit of help they can get with things!! 😉

Thanks for the great suggestion, Jeremy. I haven’t attempted to do anything witht he CP yet, but will look into it.

Mark - looking into the {site_url} issue now.

Thanks!

Well no - thank you!! 😊

If you can’t get {site_url} to work then no worries as it doesn’t matter about having to hard-code that bit into the template. Jeremy’s suggestion is a great one though so if you want to forget mine then please do 😉

Best wishes,

Ok, plugin updated to accept file path - no URL required. Give that a go - new download is available at start of this thread.

Neat! Although I think you have some echoing code coming out where it shouldn’t be perhaps?

I am seeing this code :

Array
(
    [path] => /images/site/layout/
)

on my page before all the links.

Thanks Mark - darned debugging code. New file posted at top of thread, or u can comment out line 26 of yours.

Hi Brad,

Yep found that in the code and un-commented already but thanks for looking into that. Using this in the CP really would be excellent if you can get that working 😉

Great job though, brilliant!

Best wishes,

Mark

I’ll take a closer look at this when I get home tonight. At the moment I don’t know where I’d begin to make this a custom field in CP. But hey, how hard could it be?

Brad, thanks for this - but honestly I lost track of your versions already. Could you use a numbering scheme for the file? I’m in another time zone and really don’t now it I visited the thread before or after 1:30pm EST 😉

Markus,

Haha - sorry about that. The newest version is at the top of this thread, and was from 1:30pm EST (-5 GMT). At any rate - will increment version from here on out.

Just wanna say thanks for an incredibly useful plugin 😊

Thanks eman,

I’m really glad that you found this useful. I answered a related thread earlier where someone had commented on it - and I had all but forgotten about this (as most of the time I code directly in PHP (now with CI) as opposed to EE. At any rate, just wanted to say thanks for trying it out and finding a use for it. 😊
