Create a dynamic navigation system to allow users to successfully
navigate, view, and read files placed in a directory on the web server.
This directory may contain any number of files of any file type as well
as any number of subfolders.
Upload this file into the same folder as the folder to be shared, and
specify the folder's name in the variable 'sDirectory'. This script
also has many configurable options.
Configurable options include:
Alternating row colors for both files and folders
Show / Hide navigation path above grid
Show / Hide navigation path root name
Main page font tag, column header font tag
Table header color
Allow / Deny file extensions in array form; powerful function included
Display 'friendly' bytes for file size
To install simply unzip the included file into the same directory as your target directory, and change the default directory name of "Source" to your specific directory name.
Also note the other options explained in the script.
This was created to show many different techniques in vb scripting. The use of arrays, objects (FileSystemObject), for..next loops, and a configurable structure all come together in this commented, full application.
