The following fixes have been applied to
Directory Manager v1.1:
- Base URLs “<base href="...">” are now supported (they no longer break links)
- Type: Feature (Base URLs are common for complex layouts)
- How: All links in the script are now absolute from the base domain instead of relative to the current directory.
- Confirmation is now requested through JavaScript before a file is deleted
- Type: Feature
- Why: Because there should always be confirmation before deleting data.
- User authentication can now be applied only to the script instead of the whole directory
- Type: Feature
- Variable Name: OnlyProtectIndexFile
- Why: Sometimes the user might want to only protect the ability to manipulate the directory, but not the files in it.
- How: This adds a “<files>” directive to the “.htaccess” file around the user authentication section.
- Header and Footer sections have been added to the top of the file right below the user variables section for easier manipulation of the page layout
- Type: Feature
- How: The user can now add layout header and footer information to the “HeaderSection” and “FooterSection” functions.
- Script now only shows normal files (not directories) in its file list
- Type: Bug Fix
- How: The “is_file” function is now used on entries returned from the “read_dir” function before they are added to the list.
- Side Effects: “.” and “..” were removed from the DoNotShowList variable.
- Fixed all improper static strings of “index.php” to properly point to the current file (MyFileName variable)
- The following user variables have been removed: MyFileName, RootDirectory
- Type: Simplification & Bug Fix
- Why: There was no need for the user to define these variables when the script can extract them. This also fixes a bug that occurs when a parent directory is symbolic linked.
- How: Instead of using the “getcwd” function and subtracting that from the provided RootDirectory variable, directory and script name variables can be extract from the $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] variable.
- Additional comments have been added in the file for code clarification
Other Information:
- The Directory Manager information has been updated to reflect the above updates.
- The “file by file protection” [possible] future update was also added to the information.
- PHP scripts that now only have 1 file to them are available for download as plaintext files with the extension “phpcode” that just need to be renamed to “php”; instead of zipping them.
