Okay - got the tree to display but the folders are not sorted, nor are the files under the folders. How to?

Also, how do I make the file name when clicked go to the file (<a href..>, so users can download the file?

Hello Jan,

to enable the links in Folder View set this script tag right after the tree markup :

<script type="text/javascript"> 
// enable links in FolderView 
    jQuery(function() { 
	   jQuery("ul.dmxtree li a").click(function ( e ) { 
		   e.stopPropagation();  
		   return true; 
	   });
    }); 
</script>


About folders and Files ordering - how do you populate the tree : dynamically or you just display a selected flder content?

Hi Miroslav!

1. Re Linking

Can't seem to get this to work, so here is my source:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="ScriptLibrary/jquery-latest.pack.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="ScriptLibrary/dmxFolderView.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/dmxTree/Default/treestyle.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/dmxTree/Blue/treestyle.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/dmxTree/Blue_Folder1_64x64/treestyle.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/dmxTree/Blue_Folder1_32x32/treestyle.css" />
</head>

<body>

<script type="text/javascript">
// enable links in FolderView
jQuery(function() {
jQuery("ul.dmxtree li a".click(function ( e ) {
e.stopPropagation();
return true;
});
});
</script>

<script language="javascript">
<!--
dmxListToTree({
slide : true,
struct : true,
fade : true,
bullets : "arrow",
clickOn : "row",
icons : true,
theme : "Blue_Folder1_32x32",
objId : "FolderView",
src : "./Clients/Test/",
server : "dmx_folderview.php"
});
//-->
</script>

<ul class="dmxtree Blue_Folder1_32x32" id="FolderView">
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li class="expanded">Item 3
<ul>
<li>Item 3.1</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Item 4</li>
</ul>

</body>
</html>

The above is all the code I use.

Thanks for your help!

Jan

Hello Jan, Joern,

The code I passed to you must go AFTER the dmxTree markup. means it must go like this:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
dmxListToTree({
  slide   : true,
  struct  : true,
  fade    : true,
  bullets : "arrow",
  clickOn : "row",
  icons   : true,
  theme   : "Blue_Folder1_32x32",
  objId   : "FolderView",
  src     : "./Clients/Test/",
  server  : "dmx_folderview.php"
});
//-->
</script>

<ul class="dmxtree Blue_Folder1_32x32" id="FolderView">[*]Item 1[/*][*]Item 2[/*]
  <li class="expanded">Item 3[list][*]Item 3.1[/*][/list]
  [/*][*]Item 4[/*][/list]
<script type="text/javascript">    
// enable links in FolderView    
    jQuery(function() {    
       jQuery("ul.dmxtree li a").click(function ( e ) {    
           e.stopPropagation();     
           return true;    
       });   
    });    
</script>


Also need to point out that your files will ac just as if you have set links to them - meaning PDF may be opened in a browse, Images WILL be opened in the browser, *.doc and others Office documents will be provided for download.

Hi Miroslav

That still didnt work and now as soon as I enter a "Folder" (e.g. ./Clients/Test/" ) I get a blank result as well.

I am testing by:
  1. Creating a simple blank page and using the Folder View Extension in Dreamweaver (no linking script and no "Folder" ) - works.
  2. Then adding the "Folder" ("./Clients/Test/" or "Clients/Test/" or "/Clients/Test/" or "./Clients/Test" etc etc ) - displays a blank page (the first one ("./Clients/Test/" used to work - now doesn't )


    3. I know my server folder attributes are correct as I am using an open source php script to display folders and files (it is just not as nice as Folder View ).

    As much as I love what Folder View can do in theory, it is proving WAY too hard to implement in practice.

    Thank you for trying to help though - I do appreciate it.

    Regards

    Jan

Hello Jan,

I'm sorry but the code view of the forum may have mislead you for the position of the script so I'm passing the code again ( this time without the code view):

Try out this way.

Hi Miroslav

The code is the same as I tried yesterday. I deleted all Folder View files off the server and tried a fresh load but it's still not working.

I have asked for a refund as this is getting nowhere. Thanks again for trying to help!

Cheers

Jan

Hello ,

The provided solution was only fro enabling links in Folder view.
Sorting Folders is something that is not available as functionality in the current version of the Folder view.

Hello manuel,

By adding this code right after the folder view markup in your page:

<script type="text/javascript">
// enable links in FolderView
jQuery(function() {
jQuery("ul.dmxtree li a".click(function ( e ) {
e.stopPropagation();

Hello all,

Please, do excuse my stubborn behaviour on this matter.

The resolution is simple:
You need to set a behaviour when a file item is clicked to go to the location of that file you do this by selecting the Folder view in DW and clicking the paper Clip icon in the Property Inspector.
Then You select from the list of Available events the one named "When file item is clicked" and from the list of available behaviours "GoToURL" then clicking on the right pointing blue arrow the UI of the Go TO URL will appear
In the URL field you set this:
{path}

and you click Ok your way out of this.
Save the page and test it.
