/**
* CustomDirectoryListing
*
* A simple script for custom directory listing. Adds support for
* - maximum amount of items per row
* - image listing with automatic resizing
* - displaying images before other file types for a prettier layout
*
* The above options can be controlled via the corresponding $_GET variables,
* @see below.
*
* USAGE
* Simply put this file into the directory you want to be listed. You might want
* to set the defaultWidth and defaultHeight, as well as maxItemsPerRow to your
* needs.

custom directory listing script in apache/php in shared hosting
As we know that if we have enabled directory listing then all files and folders will be listed if we do not have index.* or default.*
I have used htaccess to auto prepend a php script thinking that it will run instead of the default directory script. but it works only for scripts like php and not for html or other extensions.
So here what i want is i want to do my custom directory listing but i don’t want to put an index.php in all folders with my custom code… whereas i want to autoprepend my custom directory listing script in htaccess but this is not working…
so i want to run my custom script for directory listing
Besides, i am in a shared hosting so i cannot modify config files. htaccess is working.
so what is the way to do a custom directory listing?
Hello Jayapal,
originally the custom directory listing script was only designed to be used for specific folders. Thus, basically the idea was to set the custom directoy listing script as index file in these folders.
Now, concerning your request to achieve custom directory listings using a script that resides in only one location I must say that this is a bit tricky. Let’s assume you have the following folder structure:
Now what I understand from your comment is that you want to put your custom directory listing script in /root only and expect it to be executed when visitors try to get a directory listing for root/folder2_1 too. Correct?
If this is the case then you will have to work with mod_redirect and an additional include file. Thus, you have to redirect all requests to a base folder (e.g. /root, /root/folder1, …) to the additional include script that in return will execute the custom directory listing script residing in /root. For this to work, your .htaccess in root will have to
If a folder request has been made check if for the requested folder there exists the additional include file (referencing the custom directory listing file in /root). If this is the case simply serve it.
Based on this approach you should achieve custom directory listings for sub folder without being forced to include your original custom directory listing script in every sub folder.
Hope that helps.
