I changed the following:
if (($filename != ".") && ($filename != "..") && ($filename != "WS_FTP.LOG")) { // skip self, parent, and ftp log

to
if (($filename != ".") && ($filename != "..") && ($filename != "WS_FTP.LOG") && (!preg_match('/^.thumb_/', $filename))) { // skip self, parent, and ftp log

And it works.

The pattern just checks to see if the filename starts with .thumb_ and if it does skip it.]]> smashingred May 15, 2008, 02:16 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/24276/snippet-return-for-directory-contents#dis-post-123665 <![CDATA[Re: Snippet return for directory contents]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/24276/snippet-return-for-directory-contents#dis-post-123663
I am working w/ Greg on this and we think we almost have it. The only thing we want to do now is to exclude the .thumb_ file prefix so the thumbnails don’t show, do you have any suggestions for that?

We tried this,

if (($filename != ".") && ($filename != "..") && ($filename !=
"WS_FTP.LOG") && (!preg_match(’/^\.*thumb_$/’, $filename ) ) { // skip
self, parent, and ftp log and thumb prefix

and it didn’t seem to exclude them,
thanks for your help in advance.

I’ve adapted some code I had laying around. This is very quick and dirty code and untested, but should get you started.

<?php

// Shows all files in the directory,

$newline = "<br/>";

$dir = $modx->config['base_path'].'assets/yourfiles'; // set path to files

$dir_array = array(); // main array - contains all file names in directory


// open directory and parse file list 

if (is_dir($dir)) { 

   if ($dh = opendir($dir)) { 

      // iterate over file list to create full directory array

      while (($filename = readdir($dh)) !== false) { 

          if (($filename != ".") && ($filename != "..") && ($filename != "WS_FTP.LOG")) { // skip self, parent, and ftp log

		  	$dir_array[] = $filename; // add the filename to the array
          } 
      } 
      closedir($dh);  // close directory 
   }

   natsort($dir_array); // sort in ascending order -- delete if you don't need them sorted.
   // $dir_array = array_reverse($dir_array, false); // reverse array (descending) if needed.

   $n = count($dir_array); // total number of files -- might want this for something

    $output = "";

    $output .= "<ul>"

    foreach ($dir_array as $value) {  // iterate through array of filenames.

         $output .= '<li>'.$value.'</li>';

    } 

    $output .='</ul>';
    
}

return $output;

?>


BTW, you might look at the MaxiGallery snippet if you haven’t already. It does all this for you and makes for much easier and more full-featured gallery management by the users (e.g. picture order, uploading and deleting, titles, descriptions, dropshadows, masks, slideshow, etc).

Hope this helps,

Bob

It seems this would create a gallery within Modx that the CMS user could manage by simply uploading to/deleting from a specified directory. Has anyone done anything like this?]]> pleth May 14, 2008, 08:51 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/24276/snippet-return-for-directory-contents#dis-post-123661
