FancyDir

FancyDir styles Apache's default (and rather ugly) directory listing, turning it into something considerably easier on the eyes. Because it uses Apache's mod_autoindex FancyDir does not rely on any additional scripting engine such as PHP.

Features

Requires only Apache 2.x.
Inline search — dynamically filter your files.
Breadcrumb navigation — quickly navigate to a parent folder.
Displays images & text within a modal popup / iframe.
Tested in major browsers (Internet Explorer 6 & 7, Firefox 2 & 3, Opera 9.5).
Degrades gracefully — While some features require JavaScript, if it is disabled users are still presented with a clear layout.

Updates

Download & Installation

Download FancyDir-v1.0.1.zip
Upload the fancydir directory to the root of your domain (so it would be accessible at yourdomain.com/fancydir/)
Upload the .htaccess file to the root of your domain, if a .htaccess file already exists then append the contents of the fancydir .htaccess file to your own.
Enjoy your fancy directory listings.

Notes

Sometimes you don't want list the contents of a directory, in this case create a .htaccess file containing the line Options -Indexes and place it in the directory you don't want listed.
