I am setting up a website for organization that which publishes a monthly newsletter. They would like the newsletter, and archived copies, to be available on the web site in pdf form.
I’m envisioning a tool that allows me to set up a directory structure where the current issues reside, and which also contains directories named for prior years. Each prior year directory would contain the archived copies from that year.
I’ve found the AjaxFileListing action which almost does what I want. It will list the files in a directory, but not directories themselves.
Does anybody know of an action or php script that would help me towards my goal? Am I approaching this from a rational direction, or am I making things unnecessarily hard on myself?
It’s possible that the AjaxFileListing could be modified to descend into directory structures. Getting it to show a link to a folder is really simple – one small phrase of code to comment out – but getting it to do something meaningful with a click on that link would be the real trick. If I have a minute I’ll see if I can add that.
Along the lines of beggars being choosers, an option to select the default sort sequence would be really great for my application. Since the list is of publications, most recent on top with archival directories afterwards would be best. I don’t know if that is feasible or not.
