So I had a folder in the directory I was pointing [listfiles] at name catalog So they click on the hotlink and launched another template which looked inside that folder In this case I had a template catalog.tmpl.Now if I remember right you have to have the templates all outside the folder you are trying to do the [listfiles] on. I might be mistaken about that part. Never tried 2 above so I can't help you with that part :)We do use list files from our intranet side all the time to display to screen but not in tables all our images and banners. So we don't create duplicate images of something already on the site. (which we have done several times (sigh) before [listfiles] came along. Here is the simple code snip we use which we find very valuable. I suggest this simple process to any webmaster who has images scattered in various folders and wants to make sure they have no duplicates or to see which one they want to use on various pages.[ListFiles /banners] [showif [isfile]=T]
filename: [filename] size in bytes: [size]
[/showif] [/listfiles] Possible 4th problem The banners folder is on our webstar root. The template the looks in the folder is several folders deep inside our protected intranet.The docs read [listfiles /banner/] (with a trailing slash) With the trailing slash if it was on the webstar root no dice. Without the trailing slash it works just peachy.I think that might be another bug that I never reported (oops). But somebody else should confirm this.=============================================== Gary Richter PanaVise Products, Inc. 7540 Colbert Dr. Reno, Nevada 89511 Ph: 702.850.2900 Fx: 702.850.2929 Email: grichter@panavise.com http://www.panavise.com ===============================================
