Topic: [request] directory listings

it would be neat to have a directory browser or listing embeded in a punbb.
an example of what im talking about is:
http://www.evoluted.net/community/code/ … isting.php
which is demoed at: http://evoluted.net/stuff/

this would be an easier approach for a gallary or file distribution and what not instead of sending them to an ftp directory.  im assuming it wouldnt be very difficult since its pretty straight foward. the only thing that would need configuring is what directory and subdirectorys to display... and maybe viewable file types... etc.

i looked around and was suprised it hasnt already been done... unless im blind neutral

Re: [request] directory listings

So why not use a directory browser tool?

PunBB is a forum...

Re: [request] directory listings

i want everything within the forum. just like how you can have forums embedded in CMS's. everything under the same roof. gives the option to browse around the forums and files being able to click links, instead of your browser's back button. also so the listings are under the same skin/theme... etc.

i dont see how your question is legit seeing as gallery mods are popular. there are plenty of mods that stray away from being just a forum.

Re: [request] directory listings

How about integrating something that already exists, like Filebrowser?

You can do that with a standalone app. Just modify the templates to integrates the links you need.

You can try phpld or other free directory scripts. As to PunBB , it's only a great forum

Re: [request] directory listings

Esteem,

You take something like Filebrowser, which guardian34 makes mention of, and tweak the CSS to match that of your forum. Then in Admin -> Options -> Additional menu items, you add something like 2 = <a href="http://mydomain.org/files/">Files</a>, which would give you a top menu item.

Does that make sense?
