Void's beautiful index pages
I wanna make some pretty index pages like yours... any quick tips?
Check out mod_autoindex:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html
Everything is probably already configured on your system using the default "HEADER.html" and "README.html". If you have a file in a directory called HEADER.html it will load that first and then spit the directory listing and follow it up by loading the README.html. Here are the two I use for my generic directories:
http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/html/HEADER.html
http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/html/README.html
Just view the source and compare that with what you see in a directory like this one:
http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/files/RPMS/fox/
Basically I just symbolic link the HEADER.html and README.html in that directory and that's pretty much it. I think you'll find it quite easy to customize your directories.

it would appear that the HEADER.html is added to the index just after the body tag, and the README.html is added just before the closing body tag.
This almost limits my usage of CSS and wont let me change the title, i'll see what i can do.
Any idea if this is something special/weird/can be changed with some sort of .htaccess file.
EDITED: i guess the style tag works in the body... because its looking.. alright.

You must have something configured differently than I do. My HEADER.html is the first thing that is sent to the browser and the README.html is the last thing. I assume we must be using different options.Master of Reality wrote:it would appear that the HEADER.html is added to the index just after the body tag, and the README.html is added just before the closing body tag.

P.S. I notice in the PDF in your directory "it's not my job" is mentioned. My favorite pictures associated with that phrase:

This one is not bad either:
