HFS doesn't load dirs with lots of files

[Funboss]

Hello,

Problem
I've got some directories containing lots of files. When dirs contain lots (read: too many) files, HFS doesn't load the page.

I couldn't find neither this problem nor a solution, so I wrote this message. Is there a solution? I thought about a script which seperates the dir into pages with a defined number of files per page.

Now I just split my dirs into pieces, but that's no solution to me.

HFS creates the pages with (too) many files - the problem are the browsers that can't display so large pages.

The solution to split very huge directories in different pages can be done with macros - and is already done so in some templates. See for example:

Thanks for your answer.

Is it true that it doesn't work with the latest stable version available (2.2F) yet? That would mean I should use an beta version in order to accomplish working with several pages? The file 'new from mars.tpl' says that i've got to use version 2.3+

My French is not that good. I've attached an example. Just downloaden build #242 (2.3beta) and changed template (new from mars.tpl).

Greetings.

try disabling
menu > virtual file system > use system icons

Still the same output...

I do not understand what the system icons have to do with this problem. However, you are 'the man' when it comes to HFS.
I downloaded build #242 (latest beta) and I only changed the template (new from mars 29-12-2007 1h24.tpl) and I disabled the usage of system icons.

When I remove '[special:begin]' from the template, the output is different (see attachment). Doesn't look like 'just a wrong adjustment' to me?

I don't understand clearly your problem, so I don't see how to fix it.
What is certain is that if you removed the section [special:begin] without knowing what you do, it's normal that you have a corrupt display ... you destroyed the code.  

The default template of the beta version, without modification, does not work?
You have perhaps given incorrect permissions for your files (?)

If it's Internet Explorer 8 that you used, try to click as shown in the image.

You never know, on a misunderstanding, it can run.

my suggestion was related to the first problem, not the one with mars' template.

the problem with this template is that it's old and needed an update.
i made it for you: http://www.rejetto.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5353.0;attach=4390
this won't improve your french knowledge anyway

coming back to my suggestion,
listing files with system icons takes 5-10 times more than without.
you said "doesn't load", and i thought it may have been "it takes forever".
you should try.

@ SilentPliz: You are right, I was just trying some things. I just don't want to ask everything to you guys!

@ Rejetto: You made my day again. It clearly needed to be updated. It's not there yet, but I've got something to work with! (see attachment)

I need to apologize. I wasn't very clear about the problem. The page loaded, but it took so long that I think MAX EXEC TIME was exceeded, so I received an error page.

I certainly will use two (new) options: search and pages. I hope I can integrate my old template (HFS 2.2F) with this new one and use build #242 on my Linux server.

As you can see, with less than 7 pages, the script isn't perfect (yet). Would it be a solution to make it like this: Prev - Next - Page 2/5.

I want to thank you both for helping me out! I couldn't do it without you.

[Funboss]

I quite don't understand the usage of '{.next.}'. Something to do with the development of language files?
I tried to replace it with 'next' and the pages-script/search still worked. I searched the website but haven't figured it out yet.

Macro's are used many times, but '{.next.}' doesn't work? (see attachment from last post)

{.!text.}

This is for translation into different languages.
   
Normally they should not be visible.

You can remove them without worry.  

eg:

{.!text.}
{.!English.}

[special:strings]
text=texte
English=Anglais

Thank you for all help. I made progress integrating both templates.

Now only struggling with that page-script, which does not work yet. If I fail I'll let you know..

i had a closer look: it's a problem of the template.
mars enclosed those parts in {:quotings:}, thus prevenging macro/translation.
