@SkyBlade. Thanks for posting your question and providing the relevant details from the start. As much as I would like to recommend one of my products for you to use, I have to be honest with you. The other developer is right from the point of view of you needing to increase the memory_limit for your PHP settings.

First of all, in terms of my product line up, Advanced Folder Listing is designed to work only for Joomla 2.5 series. It won’t work on Joomla 1.5.x. Easy Folder Listing module and Easy Folder Listing Pro plugin will work on Joomla 1.5+ and 2.5+.

Now, in all honesty, I know for certain that Easy Folder Listing Pro can and has been used to display 1000+ files. However, I do not advise it at all, because the performance of displaying 1000+ files in a table on an html page gives a VERY poor user experience. Please read through these two posts to see what I mean:

If after reading those, you still want to use Easy Folder Listing Pro, then you still have to adjust your PHP settings. I give instructions on how to do that on my FAQ at Valor Apps. It tells you exactly what to do to get it working.

Let me know what you decide to do. However, please note that I do not advise trying to display hundreds or thousands of files on one page. Nonetheless, it can be done.
