Hello,
first I like to say thank you for this module.
I use it for an nonofficial website only to manage some information, to show different formulas …
I’ve one question regarding one option I can choose.
If I use the link the pdf document opens in the same window.
My users are watching the document or fill in the formula and then they close the pdf.
After this the whole website is closed.
Is it possible to open the document within a new website or with a new Tab.
I’m sorry, my English is not the best but I hope you are able to understand what I like to do?
Thank you very much.
Best regards

I’m not a programmer … I do not know what should I write in the article to load the module?
If I write: {loadposition position-50} does not work!
Why?
Roberto
January 17, 2013
@Roberto. If you set it the module to position-50 and also set the module’s visability to “All Pages”, it will work. Please double-check that you did these two things. Let me know how it works out. I am happy to help you further, but please go to the support forum or send an email to support[at]valorapps[dot]com.

Hi, great module, thanks.
Is there a way to change the colour of the filenames and links that have been clicked?
It does not take my templates colours, or does it take it from somewhere else?
Thanks in advance.
Ps, great captha. Three times now it tells me I am not human (great to hear, I always new), if you get this text at least I have been able to fool it on my fourth attempt.

Hi
i have installed this plugin in joomla 2.5, and it is giving me the follow lines on the top of download link file
Strict Standards: Non-static method modEasyFolderListingHelper::getFormattedListing() should not be called statically in C:\xampp\htdocs\modules\mod_easyfolderlisting\mod_easyfolderlisting.php on line 40
i will appreciate your help in it please..
thanks
Ali
April 19, 2012
@Ali. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will have to update this in the next release. To fix it, all you need to do is to open the helper.php file in an editor, and change “public function getFormattedListing()” to “public static function getFormattedListing()”.
Michael
May 1, 2012
hi, why i can’t find out the “public function getFormattedListing()” in helper.php?
can i know which line it is?
I’m using joomla 2.5.7.

I have to first say that you hav the most interesting captcha I have seen!!!! Wow did you make it? lol
The module is great! You don’t have to configure every file you just put them all into a folder!

Wasn’t sure tho how to configure to display number of downloads.
Thanks

Michael,
I am using Easy Folder Listing 0.3 (J16) with Joomla 1.7. I have created 2 instances of the module at different module positions in order to reference 2 different directories / option sets.
I am using loadposition twice in the same page / article to reference each of these independently. Oddly, the second reference is treated as if it used the first module position. Therefore, the exact same set of files / options is used twice instead of seeing 2 different sets as expected.
Is loading this module at 2 different module positions within the same article a bug or limitation?

Hi, I proube the module, and is very good. I would like to ask if it is posible to use the Easy Folder module to list the file of another server. I mean, have the site on server A and locate the file on server B.
Thanks
Virginia
August 18, 2011
@Virginia. It should be possible, but you will have to edit some of the code. i am quite willing to help you try it out. Just start a topic about it on my support site: http://support.michaelgilkes.com

I have a problem, I can’t find category option, is it there in the your extension or not?

August 18, 2011
@Nadir. Thanks for your comments. My module doesn’t have a category option available. If you think it should have one, please go to my support site and suggest the new feature, explaining how you expect it to work: http://support.michaelgilkes.com/topic/eflm-improvement-suggestions

Hi: Easy folder listing seems to have a compatibility issue with Joomla 1.7. Pages containing the extension do not render correctly (they don’t render at all).
Are you aware of this? Any ideas on a fix, or will the extension be updated for J1.7?
TC
July 20, 2011
@TC. Thanks for posting this. Joomla 1.7 just came out yesterday, so I haven’t been able to test my current plugins with it. So, i am not aware of this issue. I will have to install Joomla 1.7 and run some tests to see what is actually going on. I hope to eventually have all my plugins be updated for current versions of Joomla!
Michael
July 20, 2011
Thank you! I really like your plugins, and hope to have them working with 1.7 soon… There seem to be a number of minor bugs in 1.7, so I’m hoping a fix from Joomla may restore your plugin functionality too…
TC
July 20, 2011
@TC. I just testing both Easy Folder Listing module and Easy Folder Listing Pro plugin on Joomla 1.7, and they both work flawlessly without modification. if you still insist that there is a problem, could you please provide me with a link to the site that exhibits what you describe? Or could you please provide information such as an error log entry of an error that was raised?
Also, it would be better if we continue this conversation at the support site: http://support.michaelgilkes.com
At the support site, we can address this issue without clutter of comments, and others can find the discussion easier.

July 20, 2011
Mike,
This module is awesome. It’s exactly what I needed. Just wondering, I didn’t see an option to add a class to the ul or table you use. I was going to hack your code, but if you had already developed that, I wouldn’t have to. I wanted to check first. If this ends up working for me, I’ll make a donation. Thanks.

Is it posible to restrict access to folders? That’s a permission system to access, so if a user has a personal folder only he can access it.
Thanks

@Juan. Please check the support site: http://support.michaelgilkes.com/tags/custom-user-folders
Michael
June 15, 2011
Thank you for a great application! I was wondering if it is possible to create a separate sub-folder for each user, and then based on their user id only display that 1 folder for that user, not all of them?
Clint
May 31, 2011
@Clint. Currently, the module does not do that. However, if you want to customize it, you are welcomed to. Another user made a similar customization to the uploader extensions. Have a look at his post at the support site, and you may find it to be a good start for what you want to do.
Michael
June 3, 2011
I love your module, simple and effective, one thing is missing, the possibility when I say yes to “link the file”, the file opens in a new window (_blank), for example PDF files.
Thanks a lot

Hi!
I’m new to Joomla, just tested it about 1 week+.

Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.
Tested with versionJ15 & no problem with it.
Tested with Bundle version, extracted to get 2 zip folder, from there tried to install the J16 version from Bundle version and it generated the same error as well.

@vera. Thanks for using my plugin. I would love to assist you with your situation, however I can better address it at the support forum: http://support.michaelgilkes.com. Please include what version of Joomla you are using, and by that I don’t mean 1.6 or 1.5. I mean 1.6.1 or 1.5.20 or 1.6.3, or 1.5.9, etc. Also, please include your PHP version as well. Thanks. So, if you could kindly re-post your question at the forum, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi there,
I have an problem with umlauts in Joomla 1.6. When the German filename has an umlaut (e.g. Büro) “Easy Folder Listing” only displays an question-mark and the file cannot be opened.
Does anyone have a clue how this prob can be fixed.

Two questions related to publishing large numbers of documents:
1. does the module support subdirectories?
2. can the contents of different document folders be listed from within different articles?
Thanks!
Timon
April 17, 2011
@Timon. Thanks for your questions.
1. No. The module does not support subdirectories. The plugin pro version does, however.
2. Yes. Both module and plugin do this.
Michael
April 17, 2011
Thanks for your quick reply.
1. I’ve installed the module, and I can’t see a way to list the contents of different subdirectories in different articles.
2. I don’t understand how the root directory is managed. I get a dropdown list of (banners, icons & sampledata), but I don’t see these folders in my filesystem.
3. How do I get more info about the ‘pro’ version?
* Removed site and login info from public view *
Thanks,

Same for me…
I tried making another folder in images.
I gave it another position (z_list) and another name
In the second article I wrote: {loadposition z_list}
But still, only the first listing is working…
But anyway, amazing job with this module!!

Cool module !
Works great for me on an intranet site running Joomla! 1.6.
Two suggestions for improvement though.
Add an extra option “Open in new window”.
I know I can change that by adding target=”_blank” to line 193 of helper.php, but that makes the change for all pages where the module is used. Making it an option would be more flexible.
Internationalisation.
The front-end is obviously not a big deal, and column names in the table header can be changed in lines 161, 164 and 168, but that does not do the trick for a multi-lingual site.
The back-end can obviously be translated in mod_easyfolderlisting.xml but having a language file would make life easier, particularly when multiple admins from around the globe maintain the site.
I really like this module, and it is great for me because it runs on 1.6.
Kind regards,
Bert

I would like to know how I can make the path a specific url so that i can use the same folder of files for multiple sites on the same domain but different sub domains. (Example: I have files on domain.com that i want to use on sub1.domain.com, sub2.domain.com and sub3.domain.com; this will allow me to use 1 directory of global files that i want to show on multiple sub-domains)
Any help would be appreciated. If you can help me solve this i will gladly donate a sub sandwich or 2 to you!
Thanks!

Hi micheal. My english is not so good. I have read all the posts here but yet couldn’t find my answer.
First of all thanks a lot for your useful module lika this.
1. my site’s bandwidth is small, so can we show the folder from another site? example “http://….com/files”
2.

March 21, 2011
Hi Selcuk, thanks for posting and having interest in my extension. The module was only designed to display files located on the site it was installed. Now, if you know some PHP, you should be able to edit the module code to suit your needs. I don’t know if it would work, but you could edit the code to force it to use another site. However, that is up to you.

Hi Michael,
I’m new to joomla and of course extensions. I like what your extension can do, but I’m having a problem using it. I want to show files listed on an external harddrive. I’ve modified helper.php and mod_easyfolderlisting.xml to point to my default location but I’m getting this error when I try to view the folder:
Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘Directory folder specified is not a valid directory: /media/LaCie/LACIE/entertainment/home videos/Clips’ in /var/www/modules/mod_easyfolderlisting/helper.php
the folder /media/LaCie/LACIE/entertainment/home videos/Clips’ is correct. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
thanks,

Love the module. I would like to know how I can show the files on a sub domain if I have all of the files on the main domain.
Example: All the files I want to show are located on http://domain.com but I want to centralize them so that I can show them on http://dev.domain.com & http://dev2.domain.com? I have the module installed on each sub domain but i want the data to get pulled from the main website directory such as http://domain.com/images/stories
If you can help me solve this I will buy you a footlong…
Thank you!
Jon
February 24, 2011
Hi Jon,
I am glad you like my module, and I hope it serves you well. I have been thinking about your question for most of the afternoon. I think that that easiest way you can accomplish this, or should be able to accomplish this, is by creating either a hard link or symbolic link to the folders, especially if the domain and subdomains share the same hosting space.
If you can’t do that then you might have to alter the code in the module, which will make the module only fit to your needs. Of course, I haven’t tested any of this, but it should work. Let’s continue the conversation at the support site. Start a topic there, and we can see how things progress.
Michael
February 24, 2011
Very slick clean module. Would you consider putting in a parameter that allows certain number of listings (IE: 5 most recent documents or a date range).
Thanks
Andre
February 9, 2011
Hi Andre,
Thanks for your positive comments and support. I may consider adding that feature to a future release. To help me with that, I would appreciate it greatly if you share your idea at my support site: http://support.michaelgilkes.com/topic/eflm-improvement-suggestions. There you can give a more detailed explanation as to how you would like to see the feature implemented.
Michael
February 9, 2011
Michael,
I also would request that the default folder be changed (or at least allow to easily modify) from images. Looks like a lot of us use this for documents. While it works, using the image folder requires moving my documents to a folder that is not logically organized. I suggest default to the root /.
Otherwise, I found nothing else that does what your module does as easily. It was exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks
Phil
January 11, 2011
Found and it works on my website
In the Helper.php file, change the line 193 and 246 adding target=”_blank” at the end of the line before the > such as
href=”‘.JURI::base().$folder.’/’.$rows[$i]['name'].’.’.$rows[$i]['ext'].’” target=”_blank”>
Happy if it helps

Hi Michael,
Is this module compatible with UTF-8 character encoding?
When I use this module in Joomla 1.5.22 I get squares where there should be swedish characters in filenames.
Regards,
Dixon
Dixon
December 13, 2010
You have to change in the helper file version 1.1 (J16)the lines below to be compatible to UTF-8:
change line like this
lines 198 and 246 : $html .= ‘‘;
lines 196 and 249:$html .= utf8_encode($rows[$i]['name']);
I know the post is old but it can help.

I had the same issue with some files with greek titles displaying like diamonds with “?”.
Thing is that in the module manager, we see the option “Source Encoding” which is by default set to ISO-8859-1. Change this to the encoding of your files’ names (e.g. for my greek titles, the source encoding is ISO-8859-7) and then on the “Force Encode UTF-8″ option, select “Use Plain iconv”.

Fantastic module and I am sure it will be one of the most popular Joomla modules!
Would it be possible to change the root folder from images to another folder on the server? I have tried adjusting the helper.php but just get an error saying “JFolder::files: Path is not a folder: ” when it is THE folder I am using for files.
Thank you again for such a wonderful addition to our sites!

HI. Thanks for the work on an excellent module. I would also like to request a subfolder file display function.
I am using this on a company Intranet to provide access to a hierarchical folder structure.
Is this something we could do ourselves by adding some code or could you provide an update?
Do you have any idea when a revision would be due?
Thanks again

I am desperate for it to show directorys. Is it possible to do this. If you can direct me to where I might be able to learn how to add this function that would be great or if you could add it soon that would be even greater. I love the way your lister is formated much better than anything else I have seen so far. Thanks for a great module.

thanks for you work. I manage to make it work for 1 directory listing, but I just wonder if it is possible to have two (or more) different directory listings on my site ? I have 3 directories that I want to make avalaible for downloads, with 3 types of files, and I want to put them on separate articles… is it possible ? thx

Hi Dave,
Thanks for using my module. The short answer to you question is YES. All you have to do is add different copies of the module, and give each copy its own settings and its own position. Then, you can have any many listings as you want. Hope this helps.

When I try and install another copy of the module I get Module Install: Another module is already using directory: “/hermes/bosweb/web017/b175/ipg.crtnorthnet/modules/mod_easyfolderlisting”
How do I add additional copies of the module if I don’t install them?

@Lisa. All you need to do is to click the New button in the tool bar in the Module Manager, and go from there. Hope this helps.

@thezak: did you tried using forward slashes to separate folders (or maybe backslashes on windows hosts)?
So choosing the parent folder “attachments” and putting in the field of the sub folder “article/529″, that should read the files within the sub-sub folder e.g. 529.
Is this what you meant?

Hi, i use “Attachments 2.0″ to attach files on my article, now i want a list of all files in a single page, so i use your nice module.
i substitute on file “helper.php” (line 281) the word “images” with “attachments” to change directory, on file xml i substitute “directory=images” with directory=”attachments”…
But “Attachments 2.0″ include files in a sub-sub folder like this:
attachments>article>526 (or 529 or…) , so fo every article i have a subfolder.. but your module can read only inside “article” folder..
I leave empty: “Location within the Parent Folder” , if i put the name of folder (ex. 526) he read correct, but of course i can’t put more than one subfolder.
there are any suggestion ?
thank you

Love it!
Super usefull!
But for a project i have to to display only the most updated file in the folder, I mean, not all the list in descending order, only the most recent.
There is a way to do it?
Thank you in advance (:
p.s. i can’t understand the captcha test, gosh!

Hi,
For some odd reason, it doesn’t display more than 7 items per module. is there a setting to list all the files in the directory?
Thanks,

Actually, there is nothing in the code that limits it to 7 items. i have tested it with over 10 items. It should work. Maybe you can check whether the items that you are trying to display are listed in the forbidden file types. Thus, it should display everything in the folder. What file types are you displaying?

Love it. Only thing that would make this better would be to have a thumbnail generated of each document.

Thanks! That’s a pretty good suggestion. I’ll think about adding it in the next release.

I am new to Joomla and extensions. I can’t figure out what I am, doing wrong here. I loaded this , activated the plugin, made an article with the code in it, set the arbitrary position in the module and made a menu link (at bottom of home page in main menu – DIRT Board Packets) but when go to the link
I get a blank page …. any advice for what I missed here? I am hoping it will list all the PDFs in my directory as a list. Need this to work for several archived pages of info I have.

Did you specify the menu assignment to select either “All” or the specific article that is listed in the menu?
Just specify either “All” or select the menu item that refers to the article that has the code to list your PDFs.
Hope this helps.

Hello! Is this some kind of fork of JX File List? It would be great if it could list the folders and the files in the folders. Not just files in the “root” folder. Is this a feature you could easily add?
Thanks.

Hi Vegard,
Although the idea of a folder listing module is not an original idea, as I do know about JX File List, my project is not a fork of theirs. My code is my own, and made from scratch. I didn’t use any of their code, but the idea is basically the same.
Anyways, as to listing the folders. Hmmm… I did think about it when I was developing it, but I decided not to do it, because I didn’t really want to share the directory structure of any folder to the public, or even give the option to. I also didn’t want any traversing of a directory in Joomla. I guess I just didn’t think it was necessary. Technically, just listing the sub-folders is an easy feature to add, but I won’t allow any linking to it, though.
If more people want me to add the feature, I may do so in the next revision. (Maybe I need to open a forum for these modules… hmmm… we’ll see.)
Regards.

Works okay for me on Windows OS, localhost, in Chrome, but not in Firefox. There seem to be issues for me with regard to mixed forward and backwards slashes. Also an extra “DS.” for $path set after JURI::base().
I like the simple concept! Thank you.

Thanks for the bug notice, Chay. I updated it, and tested it on Firefox. It works now. I have tested it in Chrome, Safari, IE8 and Firefox/Sea Monkey. Let me know if you find anything else.
