Hi all. Anyone know how to make your server generate fancy file indexes?

Mine are uuuugly, and basic... [example]

you need to have access on httpd.conf file

11.3.5. Creating a Fancy Index

The keyword FancyIndexing is used on the IndexOptions directive line to enable a "fancy index" of the directory when Apache is forced to send the client a directory listing. When fancy indexing is enabled, httpd creates a directory list that includes graphics, links, and other advanced features. The Solaris configuration enables fancy indexing with the IndexOptions directive, and it contains about 20 extra lines to help configure the fancy index. Solaris uses the following directives to define the graphics and features used in the fancy directory listing:

IndexIgnore

Identifies the files that should not be included in the directory listing. Files can be specified by name, partial name, extension, or by standard wildcard characters.
HeaderName

Specifies the name of a file that contains information to be displayed at the top of the directory listing.
ReadmeName

Specifies the name of a file that contains information to be displayed at the bottom of the directory listing.
AddIconByEncoding

Points to the icon used to represent a file based on its MIME encoding type.
AddIconByType

Points to the icon used to represent a file based on its MIME file type.
AddIcon

Points to the icon used to represent a file based on its extension.
DefaultIcon

Points to the icon file used to represent a file that has not been given an icon by any other option.

So, in order to do this, you need to tinker with with the httpd.conf file? There aren't templates somewhere that let you choose different looks?

I've never thought about doing this, but it sounds interesting. I didn't think it was possible. Is there an example somewhere of a site that has this?
