    @ebear. You need to open easyfolderlistingpro.php in a text editor like CrimsonEditor or TextWringler or Notepad++. Go to lines 695 and lines 895, and you will see the lines.

    As for the subfolders, in the table view method the subfolders are not hidden. If you want the subfolders to be hidden, then show the listing using a list not a table. It was designed this way.

    @ebear. The next version will have the fix for replacing ‘\’ with ‘/’. To do it for this one, just add a this line:

    at the beginning of formatTableFileRows method, around line 695.

    You also have to go to the beginning of formatListContents method, around line 895, and add:

    Hope this helps.

    @pmiller. Do you have any experience in programming in PHP? If you do, I would ask you to add some code to test something. However, before that, do you have access to your PH error log? It would be good to see if there are any PHP errors or warnings that are triggered.

    I suspect the problem may be that your version of PHP (5.1.6) does not execute the class code properly. I do not have php 5.1.6 to test on, but it seems that there are other extensions that are also incompatible with it.

    @pmiller. Thanks for explaining that. I must say though that I am puzzled at what both you an devid are saying. When I test the module on my server, it works without any problems. I even re-installed it. And tested everything all over again, and it works fine. Honestly, if I can’t recreate your situation then I can’t really address it.

    I don’t think that any other plugins or modules could affect it. Could you let me know what version of PHP you are using?

    @andy. Thanks for your question. Currently, the way it is designed does not accommodate for accessing the file outside of the joomla root folder. As you can see, listing files outside would work with some tweaking, but accessing the files is different.

    Sorry for not providing a more positive answer.

    in reply to: How do I change the width of the columns? #1284

    @Discovery_TR. Sorry for responding to your question after such a long time. The way that I setup controlling the width is to specify the “Ratio of Name Column Width to Other Columns” in the plugins manager. The default value is 2, which means that the Name column will be twice as wide as the date or size column. The date and size columns will have the same width.

    From looking at your picture, what is happening is that the file names are overflowing the next line.

    Hope this helps.

    in reply to: changing the colour of the submit button? #1291
    Michael Gilkes

    @nickdella. You can do this by adding some inline CSS, or by assigning a class or id to the button, and have your CSS in the template. However, you have to edit the “tmpl/default.php” on line 32, you will see:

    You can either edit it with inline CSS, as follows:

    Or with a predefined class,

    Or with a specific ID with css properties defined to it,

    Fo example, if you wanted to place inline color:

    I personally prefer to define a class in my CSS file, usually the template CSS, and then specify the class on the button:

    Then specify,

    I hope this helps.

    @realtoast. Sorry for taking so long to respond to your question. (By the way… I thought you were an expert at my plugins by now… lol)

    The example that I give in my explanation using parameter1 and parameter2 is just as example. ‘parameter1’ and ‘parameter2’ are not valid keywords. The Parameter table on my blog site give a list of all the possible valid keywords, with descriptions, default values, and names. In your example, it seems like you want to have two different listings on the same page. Assuming, for example, in your joomla root folder you have a folder called medical_documents, and in it you have 2 folders, one called ‘english’ and anther called ‘spanish’, you can display them easily by the following:

    {easyfolderlistingpro folder=’medical_documents/english’}

    {easyfolderlistingpro folder=’medical_documents/spanish’}

    There are a bunch of other parameter keywords that can be used here, as well. Please have a look at them here: http://michaelgilkes.info/joomla-plugin-easy-folder-listing-pro/#wp-table-reloaded-id-5-no-1

    For example, if you wanted to show the file extensions for the english documents only and change the transition of the spanish documents only, then you would have this:

    {easyfolderlistingpro folder=’medical_documents/english’| extensions=1}

    {easyfolderlistingpro folder=’medical_documents/spanish’|transition=’fade’}

    Hope this helps.

    @communicat. Thanks for your question. One of the users of the module contributed the answer to this question some time ago. Please have a look at the solution that was provided: http://support.michaelgilkes.com/topic/module-vs-plugin-and-target-_blank#post-118

    @devid. Thanks for your question. With Easy Folder Listing Module, you can easily set the the sort column and sorting order by going to the Module Manager, and editing those settings. It should look something like this: http://www.megapix.com/?p=A83IXJY9

    in reply to: Files without extension #1314
    Michael Gilkes

    @ howardlander. Thanks for your question. However, it is really strange to have a file on a web server without a file extension. I can’t tell you why it is translated to .ed, but I can tell you that Easy Folder Listing Pro doesn’t change files or their info. It uses Joomla’s JFolder::folders and JFolder::files to get the file and info. So, it is possible that the Joomla PHP library is translating it.

    I suggest that you should give every file its proper extension. If it is a text file, give it.txt. If it is an image, give it the relevant image extension. There is really no reasonable reason to not hide a file’s extension, especially on a web server. If you don’t want the file to be listed, then include it in the exfiles list in the Plugin manager.

    Hope this helps.

    @maniscsf. Excellent. I think I see your problem. If you look at your second screenshot, you will see that you are assigning the category list “Accounting” instead of the article “Accounting”. Modules are assigned to a page/article. However, what you are selecting is a auto-generated category list.

    To solve your problem, either change the menu assignment to “on all pages” like I did in mine, or change your menu item to the article “Accounting”.

    As an initial test, I would advise you to first change menu assignment to “on all pages” for the module. Don’t worry it won’t show on all pages automatically. It will just show on all pages that have the xpos_4 that you specified. And since you only have xpos_4 in one article, it will only show in one article.

    Hope this helps. Let me know the result.

    @mancsf. Thanks for posting. From looking at your screenshots, the settings seem good. The only think I couldn’t see on the first screenshot was the menu assignment at the bottom. You have to make sure that the menu assignment is either on “on all pages” or on the specific page that you are going to show it on.

    Check out mine:

    Let me know if this was the issue.

    @creativeone. Thanks for responding. I think you are going to have to give me more information about what you are trying to do and the errors that you are getting. However, let me see if I can respond to what you have posted so far.

    First of all, in the explanation on the website, when I use ‘parameter1’ and ‘parameter2’ in the example, I am not saying to actually type that. ‘parameter1’ and ‘parameter2’ are just place words for the parameter keywords in the Parameter table at the end of the webpage. So, please never actually type the words ‘parameter1’ or ‘parameter2’. They have no meaning. When you do that, the plugin ignores those and use the default settings, which is why it still works.

    Secondly, when I give you the example, {easyfolderlistingpro folder=’private/Board’}, I did it based on your original explanation. You have to understand, that Easy Folder Listing Pro expects you to give it a folder path that starts from the joomla root folder. So, for example, if you have a folder called ‘private’ in your images folder, then you would type: {easyfolderlistingpro folder=’images/private/Board’}. If you have a folder ‘private’ in your includes folder, you would type: {easyfolderlistingpro folder=’includes/private/Board’}. If you have a folder called private in your root Joomla folder (that is on the same level as administrator, modules, plugin, logs, includes, images, media, etc…), you would type: {easyfolderlistingpro folder=’private/Board’}. If you specify the wrong folder location, you will definitely get a JFolder error.

    If you still have any problems, please have an article with just {easyfolderlistingpro] in it, and send me a link to the page, and I will be able to tell you what to do to get what you need. You have to let me see what is going on, so that I may assist you. You can also make a screenshot and post a link to the screen shot in your next post.

    Lastly, I don’t know why you would get a virus warning with the video link. Maybe you have a virus on your computer. I use a Mac, so I don’t get any virus warnings. Also, I created the video on my Mac and uploaded it directly to Megavideo, so it wouldn’t be infected with anything. If you get the warning you can send me an email with the details of the virus and a screenshot of the warning so that I can see what you are referring to.

    So, let me know if my explanation above solves your problem. Keep me informed and send me some screenshots or a link to your page if you continue to have problems. All the best.
