    Hi,

    We had encountered another problem:

    1.- Folders are not showed, all the files are showed toghether

    2.- When setting up one menu as

    Single Unordered List Listing –> does not work, gets blank page

    Single Paginated Table Listing –> does work but no folder view

    Single Table Listing –> does not work, gets blank page

    What are we doing wrong ?

    Thanks for your help.

    Best Regards

    @ralvarez. Thanks for posting. Paginated table does not have a subfolder view. Only List and Table show the subfolders.

    How many files are you trying to list? Depending on your server setup and the amount of files you are trying to list all at once, you may get a blank page or a server error. I explain this in the FAQ. What actually happens is that if you try to list hundreds to thousands of files on the same page, it exceeds the memory limit for PHP scripts, and so a blank page is shown.

    Hi Michael,

    Only 100 files or something like this. We have done a lot of testing and noticed that blank page occurs when there is a lot of folders, not a lot of files.

    We can see the /images folder Ok with more than 500 files and only 8 – 10 directories.

    I can prepare link with subfolder list to allow you see the problem and also another link with no subfolder list to allow you see the number of files.

    We only need a component (or module) that shows files and subdirectories. Some years ago we developed our own code http://www.alvaco.es/index.php/Descargas but is php and not integrated with Joomla and we would like to have integration (folder rights … etc). No need to have fields or personalized fields.

    The new site we are building / testing with Joomla 2.5 is new.alvaco.es

    Also we purchased puretabs and found problems but will inform you in a different post.

    @ralvarez. Has there been any errors in your php error logs? Listing them would be useful. Also, it is one thing to describe a problem, and another thing to see it for one’s self. Please post a link to the webpage with the problem, and even send screenshots of what you describe.

    Hi Michael:

    Thanks for your fast response

    Has there been any errors in your php error logs

    How to see it ?. I think will be no errors, just timeout. It seems the script takes too long to load, cause I did reduced the number of directories and now there is a popup window warning about script not working. When this happens if click on “continue” one or two times, finally the script execution finishes and we do get the directory listing but it is too slow.

    Try http://new.alvaco.es/index.php/soporte/unordered-download to see what’s up.

    Maybe we should use “Easy Folder Listing Pro” ? We would like to have nice look for file and directory listings for our download area and integrate it with joomla.

    Thanks for your help.

    Best Regards

    Hi Michael

    … More information to our last post … I think we have found what happens.

    Directories are not generated Ok at the listing, we do have like this

    /model-1-name/firmware/version1/file1.zip

    /model-1-name/firmware/version2/file2.zip

    /model-2-name/firmware/version3/file3.zip

    /model-3-name/firmware/version4/file4.zip

    /model-3-name/firmware/version2/file4.zip

    /model-3-name/firmware/version1/file5.zip

    … and so on

    What happens is that “firmware” directory for all models is showed, ex when you click on model 1 and open the firmware director all version directories will be showed.

    Please see captured screens at:

    http://new.alvaco.es/index.php/component/content/article/2-uncategorised/27-afl-tests

    Correspond to original directory structure and AFL directory structure

    @ralvarez. Thanks for follow-up. I was able to isolate where the issue is. I will try to post a minor release later today.

    @ralvarez. I will release the fix between tonight and tomorrow. Easy Folder Listing Pro is very different from AFL.

    Hi Michael,

    SOLVED.

    I saw the new version and installed. Now works fine, good job and thanks.

    When directory structure is too big, it takes too long to generate the file list. I think you could improve this in future releases.

    Thanks for your help.

    Best Regards
