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/ — samwilsonsamwilson

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

That's a really useful piece of plugin! I experienced the same server-error problem, but I solved it by adding the

file://

protocol in Filelist Plugin Settings > web_paths and giving a matching value to allowed_absolute_paths. For example:

/home/myuser/        

file:///home/myuser/
