A module that lists the contents of a site folder as a table or a list: file name, modification date, size and a file type icon. A simple way to offer documents for download.
Easy Folder Listing by Michael A. Gilkes shows the files from a chosen subfolder of the site on a page, for example price lists, manuals or minutes uploaded through the media manager or over FTP. No separate downloads component is needed: drop a file into the folder and it appears in the list.
Features
- Output as a table or a bulleted list, with file type icons.
- Show every file in the folder or only a set number.
- Sort by name, modification date or size, ascending or descending.
- Optional columns: name with or without extension, date with or without time, file size.
- Links to files can be turned off or set to force a download.
- A list of file types to hide from the output.
- Row and border colours of the table are picked with a colour picker in the module settings.
To place the list inside an article, give the module a custom position and load it with the {loadposition} tag of the Content - Load Modules plugin. The module access level controls who can see the list.
