Holy crap, that is great! I’ll update this page to point at yours when I have a chance.

I did some major hackery of this, including translating the JS to jQuery (which is slightly more cross-browser) and I also migrated almost all the CSS to use CSS3 selectors instead of tacking a bunch of classes into the DOM tree. I also decided to move the JS and CSS into their own files so that browser caching can reduce the amount of bandwidth used to download them. I put my alterations up on Github: https://github.com/NSError/Apache-Indices

Tested in Safari 5, Opera, FF10, and IE9 and it seems to work OK.

Hopefully someone finds something there they like. (Otherwise, works for me so I’m happy).

This rocks. I idly downloaded it, read and followed the README, hit a directory that gives a directory list, and wham! a neat listing in Arial. I dumped the .htaccess file in a virtual directory that does directory browsing and it even worked there. This is on a XP box running XAMPP, with scarcely any configuration post-install. Love it!

Hi Scott,
I had to change all PHP open short tags into header.php
from

since my installation does not support them.
Btw this is another reason I hate XML :)

This is excellent! I couldn’t read the full file names or the directory names, but now everything is cleaned up. I’ve gotten the icons working, but for some reason, the header is not functioning. I used absolute URLs for the paths of all of the icons, and have tried relative AND absolute URLs for the header and footer files, but to no avail. Anyone have an idea of why that might not work? I know PHP is running on the server and all that …

Thanks in advance.

No ideas, sorry. (I don’t really “support” this — it’s pretty much up to folks to figure out how to make it work when it doesn’t.)

any idea on how to get this to work on a mac with MAMP 2.0?

I moved indices to /extras and modified /extras/httpd-autoindex.conf and nothing happened.

Thoughts??

No idea, but it’s easy to try it and see. Probably.

Hi there! Does this work out of the box with Apache 2.2.x?
