ANNOUNCE: Apache::OpenIndex 1.05
Apache::OpenIndex version 1.05 was uploaded to CPAN on 02 Sep 02. New features include: A UserDir directive was added to support user home directories. (Thank Noam Solomon for the spot.) A UserSite directive was added to allow multiple users to share a common GID and site directory while denying each user's access to the other user sites. (Before each user required a unique GID.) More HtmlText directives were added to provide HTML just before each of the form objects. (Thank Noam Solomon for the suggestion.) During my haste, I left the internal version number set at 1.04b. This is a unique version number, so the error should not cause any problems. However, I hope to be patient and either provide a new update because any bug fixes reported or simply upload a subversion with the correct version number included (1.05) in the near future As always (except for the last 3 days when my ISP mysteriously reconfigured the DSLAM) a demo is available at: http://www.xorgate.com/Apache/OpenIndex/demo
ANNOUNCE: Apache::OpenIndex 1.03
OpenIndex provides a file manager for an Apache modperl web site from a web browser. OpenIndex also provides the same functionality as autoindex, therefore it can be used to both manage and navigate a web site. An Apache::OpenIndex (OpenIndex-1.03.tar.gz) update was uploaded to CPAN on 25 Oct 2001. The module can also be downloaded at: http://www.xorgate.com/Apache/OpenIndex/ OpenIndex now supports Cascading Style Sheets and individual HTML tab configurable attributes. For example, you can now add TAG attributes like: TAG attributes or add TAG text, like: TAG text /TAG Two new directives were added to support this feature: IndexHtmlTagtagattributes IndexHtmlText tagtext The following tags have attribute support: head style frameset noframe body table form font input textarea th tr hr h1 h2 h3 td a p The following tags have text support: frame noframe style The FoldersFirst index option was also added.

An Apache::OpenIndex (OpenIndex-1.02.tar.gz) update was uploaded to CPAN on 12Oct2001. The module can also be downloaded at: http://www.xorgate.com/Apache/OpenIndex/ This release fixed two bugs: 1) the directory and location Menu OpenIndex directive only maintained one copy of the array. 2) The Copy command could not copy files with spaces in their name. A filter was added, to prevent non-admin users from creating any hidden files or directories.

Clinton Gormley Authentication and any other Apache service (SSL) are outside of scope of OpenIndex. The reason why a fake directory (default .XOI) is used to access the site's files through OpenIndex, is to allow location and directory Apache directives to provide the other desired services, while they may not be required for the normal (http) site browser access. Hope this answers your question. ++ | George Sanderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.xorgate.com ++

Looks really good. I think the mod_perl community can use a lot more applications like this (something that is useful right out of the box). I guess instead of complaining I should start coding... One issue I noticed. I have a phobia of frames, and it looks like Mozilla and konqueror do as well. Your code keeps reloading itself into a new frameset under certain actions. I would recommend that you get rid of frames all together, but that might just be my phobia speaking... Cees OpenIndex provides a file manager for an Apache modperl web site using a web browser.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Apache::OpenIndex
What is an application of such technologyI think Apache provides such directory listing itself...but what can you do with this I don't know what features your module has but if it can be trained to read a configuration file (a manifest) per directory, then I can see this technology being use for colaborative web sites, such as an internal documentation area where people could drop things...and the manifest is to insert access control and as well brief description of docs (sort of a meta-directory)otherwise just getting a listing from the file system and showing it is well...nice I don't mean to depreciate your worksometimes I don't know how to write..

Of course what I meant to say was: Apache::FileMan was never released to CPAN. Also, for any of you trying to login to the demo late yesterday at: http://www.xorgate.com/Apache/OpenIndex/demo I made a password capital letter typo in the README file (at about the same time I made the above typo) , which by the way, made all the difference in the world when trying to login.

ANNOUNCE: Apache::OpenIndex
Back on 13 Dec 00, I posted the creation of module Apache::FileMan.pm. Today, I ANNOUNCE that Apache::FileMan has been renamed to Apache::OpenIndex. The name change was made because, several software applications go by the same name, one of which, provides the same basic functionality. The name OpenIndex was selected because it clearly follows from the name, Apache::AutoIndex, from which it was derived. Apache::AutoIndex was never released to CPAN. I do plan to do a CPAN release Apache::OpenIndex on 14 Sep 01 (next Friday.) DESCRIPTION: OpenIndex provides a file manager for web sites through a web browser. It is a extensive rewrite of the Apache::AutoIndex.pm module (written by Philippe M. Chiasson), which in turn was a remake of the autoindex Apache module. It can provide the same functionality as AutoIndex.pm, therefore it can be used to both to navigate and manage the web site. The source is available at: http://www.xorgate.com/Apache/OpenIndex A full functioning demo is available at: http://www.xorgate.com/Apache/OpenIndex/demo Enjoy. The name change carries with it configuration directive and default value changes. I hope the changes do not cause more problems than they solve. All comments are welcomed. Thank you all for bearing with me during this long development cycle. +==+ | George Sanderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.xorgate.com/http://www.xorgate.com/ +==+
