Automatically generate hyperlink list - 10/1/2008 11:43:02
I need to create a page that contains a list of hyperlinks that point to various documents residing in the same online directory or subdirectories. This is to aid a site search engine spider. It is not practical to add the links manually. Is there a way (some script) to automatically scan the directory/subdirs and write the links to a master page? Is this more or less a table of contents page? Is there some automation to create that?
Thanks.

So I guess you are using Expression Web?
you would need some type of database to help handle those links. There might even be some code that someone knows just to read the pages / titles from a certain folder (but they would probably need to know what your server supports (PHP, ASP, .NET, etc)) to help you out with that code. You might even check out hotscripts for something.

This does exactly that in PHP, just change the path to the required folder.:
<ul>
<?
// Define the full path to your folder from root
$path = "full/path/to/folder";
// Open the folder
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
// Loop through the files
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
if($file == "." || $file == ".." || $file == "index.php" )
continue;
echo "<li><a href=\"$file\">$file</a></li>";
}
// Close
closedir($dir_handle);
?>
</ul>
