folder archives

[Alons0]

Ok people
I wanna this link to be displayed only in a folder (without root). How can I make it with JavaScript?

[Giant Eagle]

Code: [Select]

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
if ("%folder%" != "/") {
document.write ("<a href=\"%folder%~folder.tar\">Download Archive</a>");
}
</script>

or 1 line code

Code: [Select]

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">document.write("%folder%" != "/" ? "<a href=\"%folder%~folder.tar\">Download Archive</a>" : "");</script>

Thank you Giant Eagle!
Rejetto, hfs will be good if works with rar archives

Why? What's wrong with .tar? There won't be any compression so it doesn't matter. And WinRAR can extract .tar, too.
.rar would be more interesting if the process could be reversed, like uploading an archive and have HFS decompact it.

lol you contradicted yourself, hfs will never decompact, just create and extract, but that is a very good idea, maybe we can let people upload '.tar' archives and have an option for hfs to automatically extract them all into the upload folder or something... would be handy for uploading into image galleries etc...  '.tar' is fine, there is no need to make rejetto create other archive types if this gives us the functionality needed to do the job. All we need now though is a way to restrict who can download as archives, and what folders can be archived.

decompact vs. extract

English isn't my first language, I think I used a wrong word then...

[Giant Eagle]

If hfs can extract a .TAR file, then creating folders remotely will finally be a fact. ^^ hurray!

I like the idea of uploading a tar then hfs could expand it to a folder.
Maybe an option(checkbox)?

[rejetto]

yes, it was already suggested but i forgot to put it in the to-do-list

if someting like extract will be included in hfs it should be a option. Normally i think admin will look at the contents of a tar, zip or rar, before expanding content. With automatic extact the filesystem can get very 'sick'

why extract a .tar ? We can have an option which authorizes the view and the download of the contents of a file .tar (as zips files under windows)

For that, Hfs can create a file .tar as being a temp virtual folder to which we can apply  the ~folder.tar for the download
