E-directories?

[Nikose Tyris]

I dunno what to call em.

They're the archive type areas on a website, which list every file on the page. I need to make one to store a very large collection of images, and organize them.

If anyone knows how to do this, or if anyone knows a better way, let me know.

And no, I don't feel it's worth the time if I have to add <img src=link> <Size =1> </img> or all that bullshit for an archive that I'll only be using for hotlinking images.

Do you mean something like this (http://gallery.menalto.com/)? Gallery software?

Or a regular directory listing, just a list of the files with no thumbnails? That's just about no work at all.

Or there's always shit like flickr and photoshack.

[Nikose Tyris]

No, I don't want gallery software. I want something like this:

http://www.talisman.org/~erlkonig/img/anime/

But I don't care about the background or any of that crap- just the file listing.

EDIT: Also, don't click the files listed- some of them seem to be borderline nsfw- i just needed an example.

eesh, well I know how to semi do that in IIS to do a straight file list but you'd need access to the admin console (literally you'd just click on allow directory browsing and that's it but it'd be really basic). That looks like a scripted list so yeah... bit trickier. What's your web server running? i.e. can it run asp or .NET at all? (because I've already got a sample project which semi does that, that's why people) but i'm sure someone can come up with a simpler version.

I think these are just called open directories, non?
Or, opendir's, if you wanna be hip about it.

How to make 'em, I don't know. Just wanted to contribute, and I did. =D

I still haven't been able- and I set it to read/write/execute for all. :/

removed link cause I think it broke the whole damn site.

On some servers, you can just delete the index.html from the directory and turn on directory listings in your control panel so it won't just 404 for your index.html, but I assumed you'd tried that already.

I think the phrase you'll want to to google is dynamic directory indexing, or some variant of that. Dynamically generated index, maybe.
