Falling off the end of a directory listing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've spent the last hour Googling this, without success...

Problem: is there some way to allow a directory listing which includes a 'parent' link, but *only* up to a specified top level?

In more detail, I have a site which is rooted at /var/www/html/foo. There are some download files, which I've placed in a directory structure at /var/www/html/foo/downloads. The user can reach the download directory at http://www.bar.com/downloads.

There is quite a complex directory structure at 'downloads', so I've enabled directory listing. The problem is that the user can navigate up through the parent links all the way up to /var/www/html/foo, at which point they get a canned version of the main site in the download window.

This doesn't really matter if the user entered the downloads URL directly in a full-sized browser window; they just see the website. However, the normal way to get to the downloads is via a link on the site, which opens a small pop-up window. If they navigate up too far in this pop-up then they just see a mess.

Ideally, the 'parent' link should disappear when the user reaches /var/www/html/foo/downloads.

Any ideas?

Thanks -

Paul
