Easy Folder Listing Pro 4.5.2 is a Joomla extension for displaying the contents of selected folders as organized file listings. It combines a component, content plugin, editor extension plugin and module, providing several ways to publish and configure folder contents on website pages.
Each listing can have its own settings, allowing different pages to display folders with different layouts and options. Profiles can be used to save configurations, while shortcode parameters make it possible to override individual settings for a particular instance. With up to 64 configurable options per listing, administrators can adjust the output to suit different sections of their website. The editor extension plugin also simplifies inserting shortcodes directly into articles.
Folder contents can be presented in four formats: a standard table, an unordered list, a paginated table or an explorer-style view. These layouts provide different ways to organize downloadable resources, document collections, images and other files. File type icons help visitors identify different formats, while administrators can decide whether filenames should be displayed as clickable links.
Sorting options allow files and folders to be arranged in ascending or descending order by name, modification date or file size. The listing can show file sizes, dates or complete date and time information, using access, creation or modification timestamps. Date formats can also be customized. Specific file extensions can be included or excluded, and individual files or folders can be removed from the displayed results.
The extension supports nested folders, allowing visitors to explore directory contents without leaving the current page. Administrators can set the maximum depth of subfolders, choose whether their contents are initially expanded or collapsed, and provide controls for showing or hiding individual folders or all nested lists at once. Expand and collapse effects can be configured with animation settings, including easing and duration, using Mootools or jQuery.
Built-in AJAX search helps visitors find files without manually browsing through long directory listings. Download options include retrieving individual files or collecting multiple files into a ZIP archive. Additional controls include masked file links, temporary download URLs with an expiration period, and logs for tracking file views and downloads.
The appearance of file listings can be adjusted through custom CSS, including table row colors and border styling. Administrators can also control whether empty folders display a message and customize how their contents are presented. A built-in help system provides additional guidance when configuring the available options.
Easy Folder Listing Pro is suitable for Joomla websites that need to publish downloadable resources, documentation, software packages, media collections or other files stored in website directories without manually creating links to every item.
