Legacy777's Image Directory Listing
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2012 11:22 pm
UPDATE: 1/2/2020
I am in the process of upgrading my server and in doing so have discovered some issues with filenames that contain symbol ampersand "&". So I have had to rename anything with an ampersand in it to and. So if you happen to get a server error while trying to access anything, please replace the '&' with the word 'and' (remove quote marks). I will try and review the server logs and update links that refer to the old files. I tried to setup an automatic redirection, but wasn't able to do that.
Thanks for everyone's understanding
Thought I'd update everyone since I've made some changes to my image directory listing. I finally figured out what image gallery program I wanted to go with a little while back. The big hold up to updating everything on my server has been due to how the image directory listing page is automatically created. I wanted to make sure it was a live document that was created every time someone accessed it, but provided a little more asthetically pleasing listing, and more information about the pictures.
Since the technical details are worked out, now I just need to go back and update all my old galleries, which will take some time since there's over 500 separate galleries. As I update the galleries the folder text will be replaced by a more descriptive label of the pictures. Linking to existing galleries or pictures should be unaffected.
I'll keep everyone posted as I update things and if you see any issues or problems, please let me know. I haven't decided whether I will change the background & text colors for the main page or not. I may wait and change it when I get all the galleries converted.
A BIG thanks to BSOD2600 for helping me modify the code to get everything to work the way I wanted it to.
And finally, here's the link. If you have any feedback, please let me know.
