Dumb TVs question

Never used this @binding...
Pretty interresting to have this handy, thanks for the tip !

That sounds even easier! I’d never even heard of @DIRECTORY before. Nice to see there’s so many ways of doing this. I’ll try them all out and see which the clients like best.

I also never heard of that before. Is it an official binding? Why it’s not in documentation: http://modxcms.com/data-binding.html? That would make some things easier.

The documentation is a bit light about @bindings I agree, but maybe Heliotrope can remedy to that

If I can recall, me and Ryan were working on something and I just tried with no clue if there is something actually available, but guess what! it worked! lol ... but somehow I forgot to document it, BUT now its officially listed in MODx docs: http://modxcms.com/directory-binding.html, any improved definition and/or example is welcome.

Does @DIRECTORY return just the names of the files, or does it include other info like creation date, summary, alias, etc.?

Hi Bob, it returns just the names of the files. (Note that the @DIRECTORY lists a directory on the filesystem and not MODx documents/pages)

Duh!

I’m glad I asked that in a "dumb question" thread.

Can you tell me the default sort order of the returned filenames (on a *nix server)?

It’s generally in ASCII sort order, but you should never rely on this as the locale setting on the server could affect it.
