Nevermind… figured it out. It’s just hidden in the CSS. Bad call if you ask me.

Thx for the nice work with this!

Too bad “.. parent directory” link and/or arrow does not show! :(

Couldn’t figure out how to fix it either.

For some reason on my CentOS 5.4 system I had to turn on short_open_tag for indices to operate properly. I ended up just adding:
php_flag short_open_tag on
…to the start of the .htaccess file.

Thanks for your effort in a great bit of code.

I had to include ‘FileInfo’ to my AllowOverride directive to supress the ‘AddType not allowed here” error. So my line would look like:

AllowOverride Indexes Options FileInfo

@gse – Thanks. I should have searched Google first. IndexIgnore is what I needed.

@Steve – That kind of thing should be done with Apache configuration; Indices’ purpose is to style Apache’s output.

Is there anyway to specify folders or files to omit from the directory listing?

I love this as it’s very easy to use and is non-intrusive. Nicely done.

Just a point about the README – it may be useful to add that if you are installing this to a directory that is not under the htdocs path using the Directory directive, you need to include the line:

AllowOverride Indexes Options

Thanks for sharing your excellent solution.
