Sorry, been busy working on this (http://intrepid.newsbyteens.com/Web/apps/web%20browser/files), so haven't gotten time to come visit :)

Anyways, I'll be coming in and out...I'm working madly on this, like it's my passion...it's way not done yet...you will be able to view, edit, rename, download, and open files too...

Looks spiffy. It will be an award winner :) (planet-source-code.net)

Hey Sub,
Been missing you around here. That site looks good. 8)

[hatchet]

This would be a great thing for a corporate document management system...

It's funny, if anyone really knows how much work went into that, I'd be getting, "HOLY CRAP! THAT'S AMAZING!"

:D

But it never works like that...

Here's what I mean:

Log


FileExplorer Log

Images: 63 icon extensions. I had to do, "Print Screen", "Paste", "Cut", Pixel by pixel editing, Resize, create file, add entry to script, test. For each one.

Prior to 1/02/03:
* Created FileExplorer
* Created layout
* Created colors
* Created icons
* Basic scripting to display folders and files and drives.
* Mouse over effects
* Added more script to display File types and associated icons
* Added more script to display File sizes
* Added script to count number of objects in a folder, including Folders and Files
* Created an "Address" bar. Enabled the use of "My Computer" and "Settings" to jump
to the associated pages.
* Created side bar to show details of the folder and drives. Also provide links to other drives.
* Created tool-tips for files, copied MS Windows style.

1/02/03
* Added Hidden and Compressed Folder/File Detection (as well as a file/folder having BOTH those combinations)
* Added special size script that does the following:

If the file's size is approx 0MB, get the approx KB. If the approx KB is 0, get the bytes. This is the way Windows does it, but they do not do it in the "Size" tab, it's only when you mouse over a file. So, this was emulated.


* Added Accessibility and Appearance options. These are stored in Session variables. Details:

* Link underlining, for the color blind.
* Link colors
* Ability to take out toolbar text
* Ability to take away the Address bar
* Ability to take away the Side Bar
* Ability to hide hidden files.

* Added Settings page
* Added special ASP generated style sheet so, if one chooses to implement, a user could change the entire look of the module.
* Added "Restrict Folder Access" script
* Added a script that, if the "Path" detail is over 50 chars, put a "..." in the [middle of the] string and make it smaller.
* Minor GFX and layout changes.

1/03/03
* Created separate pages for Configuration and Subroutines.
* Optimized code, trimming off unnecessary and unused variables.
* Added minor comments to code.
* Added download ability, also ability to disable downloading
* Added file selections (using JavaScript), no tools yet.
* Added Permission Denied and Folder Does Not Exist error catching.
* Added simple script to check if a folder has the word "document" in it, if it does, have a "Documents" folder show up for a large image. Also, Music, Pictures, Websites, and Windows root folder.
* Trying to show File details using JavaScript.

Trust me I know what you're going through.. I've been working for about a year now on getting a doc managment system (not that fancy by any means) for the company I work for...but they are using Lotus Notes on a Domino server...php doesn't connect too well with that...grr.. Zend was working on something to port into Domino though..so hopefully they'll get it working..

[SubKamran]

Yah, it's a cruel world out there :D

[hatchet]

Didn't notice..is this done with asp.net?

[SubKamran]

There will be an ASP version and a more featurefull ASP.NET version (because ASP.NET offers much more).

HOLY CRAP! THAT'S AMAZING!

Hey :)

Some new developments:


1/04/03
* After much trial and error, one can now "Preview" an image on the sidebar just like Windows XP. Still working out bug, which when the image first loads it loads to default size, this can easily distort the page. Only on the second load will it be resized.

1/05/03
* Added ability to view most common file types in browser. Includes swf, mov, mp3, mpeg, ram, jpg, gif, png, ico, etc.
* Added ability to delete files. One can also restrict it to certain file types, or disable deleting all together.

1/06/03
* Added tools for images. When viewing an image, one can Zoom In, Zoom Out, or Reset to Actual Size.
* Added ability to view text files in a browser.
* Fixed minor bugs. Added security fixes.
* Added restriction on viewing files and downloading files to the restricted path given (if any).
* Attempting to fix Settings bug, will not save settings.


Notice how the lists are shorter? Now I am getting to the "We'll see if you can REALLY pull this off" part.

Keep up the great work Sub...
