Nginx Fancy Index module
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
.. contents::
|
|
|
|
The Fancy Index module makes possible the generation of file listings, like
|
|
the built-in `autoindex <http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpAutoindexModule>`__
|
|
module does, but adding a touch of style. This is possible because the module
|
|
module allows a certain degree of customization of the generated content:
|
|
|
|
* Custom headers. Either local or stored remotely (*working*).
|
|
* Custom footers. Either local or stored remotely (*working*).
|
|
* Add you own CSS style rules (*not yet implemented*).
|
|
|
|
This module is designed to work with Nginx_, a high performance open source web
|
|
server written by `Igor Sysoev <http://sysoev.ru>`__.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
============
|
|
* Sources for Nginx_ 0.8.x, and its requirements.
|
|
|
|
- The module compiles with 0.7.x versions as well.
|
|
|
|
- It _might_ compile with 0.6.x applying "nginx-0.6-support.patch", YMMV.
|
|
|
|
* Patience, and some Coffee™.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
1. Unpack the Nginx_ sources::
|
|
|
|
$ gunzip -c nginx-?.?.?.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
|
|
|
|
2. Unpack the sources for the fancy indexing module::
|
|
|
|
$ gunzip -c nginx-fancyindex-?.?.?.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
|
|
|
|
3. Change to the directory which contains the Nginx_ sources, run the
|
|
configuration script with the desired options and be sure to put an
|
|
``--add-module`` flag pointing to the directory which contains the source
|
|
of the fancy indexing module::
|
|
|
|
$ cd nginx-0.6.6
|
|
$ ./configure --add-module=../nginx-fancyindex-?.?.? [extra desired options]
|
|
|
|
4. Build and install the software::
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
And then, as ``root``::
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
5. Configure Nginx_ by using the modules' configuration directives_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
You can test the default built-in style by adding the following lines into
|
|
a ``server`` section in your Nginx_ configuration file::
|
|
|
|
location / {
|
|
fancyindex on; # Enable fancy indexes.
|
|
fancyindex_exact_size off; # Output human-readable file sizes.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
:Default: fancyindex_header ""
|
|
:Context: http, server, location
|
|
:Description:
|
|
Specifies which file should be inserted at the head of directory listings.
|
|
If set to an empty string, the default header supplied by the module will
|
|
be sent.
|
|
|
|
fancyindex_footer

|
|
.. warning:: When inserting custom header/footer a subrequest will be
|
|
issued so potentially any URL can be used as source for them. Although it
|
|
will work with external URLs, only using internal ones is supported.
|
|
External URLs are totally untested and using them will make Nginx_ block
|
|
while waiting for the subrequest to complete. If you feel like external
|
|
header/footer is a must-have for you, please
|
|
`let me know <mailto:aperez@connectical.com>`__.

|

default styles.
