25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr JasiukajtisThis module is contained in the <CODE>mod_autoindex.c</CODE> file, and
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtisis compiled in by default. It provides for automatic directory indexing.
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtis
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtis<H2>Summary</H2>
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr JasiukajtisThe index of a directory can come from one of two sources:
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtis<UL>
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtis<LI>A file written by the user, typically called <CODE>index.html</CODE>.
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr JasiukajtisThe <A HREF="mod_dir.html#directoryindex">DirectoryIndex</A> directive sets
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtisthe name of this file.
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr JasiukajtisThis is controlled by <A HREF="mod_dir.html"><CODE>mod_dir</CODE></A>.
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtis<LI>Otherwise, a listing generated by the server. The other directives
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtiscontrol the format of this listing. The <A HREF="#addicon">AddIcon</A>,
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtis<A HREF="#addiconbyencoding">AddIconByEncoding</A> and
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtis<A HREF="#addiconbytype">AddIconByType</A> are used to set a list of
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtisicons to display for various file types; for each file listed, the
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtisfirst icon listed that matches the file is displayed. These
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtisare controlled by <CODE>mod_autoindex</CODE>.
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtis</UL>
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr JasiukajtisThe two functions are separated so that you can completely remove
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtis(or replace) automatic index generation should you want to.

25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtisdirective, the column headers are links that control the
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtisorder of the display. If you select a header link, the
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtislisting will be regenerated, sorted by the values in that
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtiscolumn. Selecting the same header repeatedly toggles
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtisbetween ascending and descending order.

25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr JasiukajtisNote that when the display is sorted by &quot;Size&quot;,
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtisit's the <EM>actual</EM> size of the files that's used,
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtisnot the displayed value - so a 1010-byte file will
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtisalways be displayed before a 1011-byte file (if in ascending
25c28e83beb90e7c80452a7c818c5e6f73a07dc8Piotr Jasiukajtisorder) even though they both are shown as &quot;1K&quot;.

The HeaderName directive sets the name of the file that will be inserted
at the top of the index listing. <EM>Filename</EM> is the name of the file
to include, and is taken to be relative to the directory being indexed.
The server first attempts to include <EM>filename</EM><CODE>.html</CODE>
as an HTML document, otherwise it will include <EM>filename</EM> as plain
text. Example:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>HeaderName HEADER</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
when indexing the directory <CODE>/web</CODE>, the server will first look for
the HTML file <CODE>/web/HEADER.html</CODE> and include it if found, otherwise
it will include the plain text file <CODE>/web/HEADER</CODE>, if it exists.

The IndexIgnore directive adds to the list of files to hide when listing
a directory. <EM>File</EM> is a file extension, partial filename,
wildcard expression or full filename for files to ignore. Multiple
IndexIgnore directives add to the list, rather than the replacing the list
of ignored files. By default, the list contains `<CODE>.</CODE>'. Example:

<DL>

This turns on fancy indexing of directories.

</BLOCKQUOTE>
<DT>IconHeight[=pixels] (<EM>Apache 1.3 and later</EM>)
<DD>
<!--%plaintext &lt;?INDEX {\tt IconHeight} index option&gt; -->
Presence of this option, when used with IconWidth, will cause the server
to include <SAMP>HEIGHT</SAMP> and <SAMP>WIDTH</SAMP> attributes in the
<SAMP>IMG</SAMP> tag for the file icon. This allows browser to
precalculate the page layout without having to wait until all the
images have been loaded. If no value is given for the option, it
defaults to the standard height of the icons supplied with the Apache
software.
<DT>IconsAreLinks
<DD>
<!--%plaintext &lt;?INDEX {\tt IconsAreLinks} index option&gt; -->
This makes the icons part of the anchor for the filename, for
fancy indexing.
<DT>IconWidth[=pixels] (<EM>Apache 1.3 and later</EM>)
<DD>
<!--%plaintext &lt;?INDEX {\tt IconWidth} index option&gt; -->
Presence of this option, when used with IconHeight, will cause the server
to include <SAMP>HEIGHT</SAMP> and <SAMP>WIDTH</SAMP> attributes in the
<SAMP>IMG</SAMP> tag for the file icon. This allows browser to
precalculate the page layout without having to wait until all the
images have been loaded. If no value is given for the option, it
defaults to the standard width of the icons supplied with the Apache
software.
<DT>NameWidth=[<EM>n</EM> | *] (<EM>Apache 1.3.2 and later</EM>)
<DD>
The NameWidth keyword allows you to specify the width of the
filename column in bytes. If the keyword value is '<SAMP>*</SAMP>',
then the column is automatically sized to the length of the longest
filename in the display.
<DT>ScanHTMLTitles
<DD><!--%plaintext &lt;?INDEX {\tt ScanHTMLTitles} index option&gt; -->
This enables the extraction of the title from HTML documents for fancy
indexing. If the file does not have a description given by
<A HREF="#adddescription">AddDescription</A> then httpd will read the
document for the value of the TITLE tag. This is CPU and disk intensive.
<DT>SuppressColumnSorting
<DD>
<!--%plaintext &lt;?INDEX {\tt SuppressColumnSorting} index option&gt; -->
If specified, Apache will not make the column headings in a FancyIndexed
directory listing into links for sorting. The default behaviour is
for them to be links; selecting the column heading will sort the directory
listing by the values in that column.
<STRONG>Only available in Apache 1.3 and later.</STRONG>
<DT>SuppressDescription
<DD>
<!--%plaintext &lt;?INDEX {\tt SuppressDescription} index option&gt; -->
This will suppress the file description in fancy indexing listings.
<DT>SuppressHTMLPreamble
<DD>
<!--%plaintext &lt;?INDEX {\tt SuppressHTMLPreamble} index option&gt; -->
If the directory actually contains a file specified by the
<A
HREF="#headername"
>HeaderName</A>
directive, the module usually includes the contents of the file
after a standard HTML preamble (&lt;HTML&gt;, &lt;HEAD&gt;, <EM>et
cetera</EM>). The SuppressHTMLPreamble option disables this behaviour,
causing the module to start the display with the header file contents.
The header file must contain appropriate HTML instructions in this case.
If there is no header file, the preamble is generated as usual.
<DT>SuppressLastModified
<DD>
<!--%plaintext &lt;?INDEX {\tt SuppressLastModified} index option&gt; -->
This will suppress the display of the last modification date, in fancy
indexing listings.
<DT>SuppressSize
<DD>
<!--%plaintext &lt;?INDEX {\tt SuppressSize} index option&gt; -->
This will suppress the file size in fancy indexing listings.
</DL>
This default is that no options are enabled. If multiple IndexOptions
could apply to a directory, then the most specific one is taken complete;
the options are not merged. For example:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
&lt;Directory /web/docs&gt; <BR>
IndexOptions FancyIndexing <BR>
&lt;/Directory&gt;<BR>
&lt;Directory /web/docs/spec&gt; <BR>
IndexOptions ScanHTMLTitles <BR>
&lt;/Directory&gt;
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
then only <CODE>ScanHTMLTitles</CODE> will be set for the /web/docs/spec
directory.<P><HR>
