!!@@Problem browsing folders@@!!
Hey guys, I have finally got my Fileman working on hypermart,

[ removed by admin ]

but there are a few things I am not happy with. Firstly I wish to remove all the chdir remdir, edit, etc etc commands, and only have uploading and downloading possible, i.e. no deleting. How do i do this?

But the main problem is that when you click on a folder within fileman, it doesnt open the folder within file manager (if that makes sense). It instead browses it within the browser. This means you cannot upload stuff into the folder. To uderstand please visit my site and check it out.

I have included my configuration below

%config = (
[ removed by admin ]
use_flock => 1,
allowed_space => 50000,
max_upload => 1000,
show_size => 1,
show_date => 1,
show_perm => 0,
show_icon => 1,
show_pass => 0,
version => '1.0'

Yeah Please help. Oh and is there a more recent version of fileman then 1, not 2, because i saw on a post sumwhere something about 1.16??

Thanks

John

before you do anything else, password protect your fileman or get the link out of your post.

You will need to edit fileman.cgi and modify the perl & HTML for directory listings. It's not terribly difficult but make sure you make back-up copies before you make any changes.

That's because you're clicking on the name of the folder rather than the yellow folder icon.

Any reason you don't want to use version 2?

Thanks for your suggestions. Do you have an example of how to modify fileman to remove these links?. I was looking at fileman.cgi and couldnt find the part about directory listings, i found the part for files and removed the del etc commands for a text file, but thats as far as i got.

Reguarding the clicking on folders, I have seen another configuration of fileman where clicking the name of the folder was the same as clicking the folder icon (i.e. the person had modified it to be that way). Any idea how to do this???

Oh, and fileman 2 is too complicated for what I wish, I do not need the search features etc, Id like mine to run fast and be very easy to use.

Finally how do i edit my post (to remove the link) hehe Blush

Bugger, you took too long....you can't edit after an hour.

Quick...shove a .htaccess file into the directory.

Now it would be great if GT added a "Alert Moderator to Thread" button into the forum software. This is built into some forum software (I think the latest WWWThreads) and would be great in this kind of situation.
