Works with my DokuWiki version 2010-11-07. A problem was discovered, which is the filelist does not display the files for unregistered user. The ACL is correctly set for ALL and using normal syntax the file is displayed and accessible. — Münchener, 14 Feb 2011

I played around with getting this to work for a while, before realising that, under Windows, the case of the drive letter does actually matter! So, both savedir and this plugin's allowed_absolute_paths I had to change from d:/www-data/wiki/ to D:/www-data/wiki/ — samwilsonSam Wilson

In my judgement this plugin does not work with Rincewind. At least not in my configuration. In Rincewind I could this only get working with the direct-option and absolute paths, not the namespace notation. The namespace-notation resulted in Access-denied. And 'working' means only display, clicking on a file-link in the list resulted in a server-error

The medialist-plugin is a working alternative (if using a patch somebody provided in the dokuwiki-documentation).

Examples: So this displayed a list

{{filelist>data/media/natuurlijk/documents/*.*&style=table&direct=1&tableheader=1&tableshowdate=1&tableshowsize=1&sort=iname}}

This did NOT:

{{filelist>:natuurlijk:documents:*.*&style=table&direct=1&tableheader=1&tableshowdate=1&tableshowsize=1&sort=iname}}

Omission of &direct won't work either.

There seems to be no real alternative to this plugin, it would be nice if this could be repaired (or my mistake in the usage of it be clarified) The bug-report link on the owner's list points to nirvana

It works with Rincewind and Angua.

I had to go to Admin > Configuration Settings > Filelist Plugin Settings and give values like the following:

/home/myuser/        

file:///home/myuser/ 

More information from Wikipedia.

I also had to consider this. Firefox blocks links to local files for security purposes. So I added the LocalLink extension to Firefox, as described in that page.

With this modifications, I can use something like this:

{{filelist>/home/myuser/Desktop/*&direct=1}}

or like this:

{{filelist>/home/myuser/Desktop/*&direct=1&style=olist&recursive=1&sort=iname}}

to list the contents of my file system.

In Firefox with the LocalLink extension, one may right-click on a link/element from that list and select Open Link In Local Context.

I have tested this in Mac OS X and Ubuntu. I have made a trial in Windows 7 with the following values (also trying lower case c:) but I could not make it work and I got [n/a: Access denied].

C:/Users/Myuser/ 

file:///C:/Users/Myuser/ 

{{filelist>C:/Users/Myuser/Desktop/*&direct=1}}

This

{{filelist>:wiki:asorted:pcard:201203:*.*&style=list&direct=0}}

works without any modification as expected in Rincewind
