DEPRECATION WARNING

This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated. The extension maintainer should switch to the new system. Details on how to use the rendering mechanism can be found here.

Introduction

What does it do?

This extension provides a frontend plugin which shows a list of files and folders in a specified directory on the file system or using more advanced FAL selectors such as categories or collections of files.

You can sort the files in this directory over the Backend by file name, title, description, size or creation date. The files will be sorted by file name by default.

There is also an option to display files as “new” (with a localized text after the name).

Hint

As you may figure it out, this plugin could easily turn a list of images (and possibly subfolders) into an easy-to-use image gallery. You probably will not be in need of any other extension for that purpose.

Be sure to have a look and consider installing extension “image_autoresize” available in TER if you plan to seriously use TYPO3 for storing a large collection of images.

Note

Default templates are using (light) Bootstrap markup.

Screenshots

Information such as titles and descriptions are those you may populate in TYPO3 Backend, using FAL.
