Fast Friendly Folders

Web Publishing Made Easy

Gadgets > FffNo download for gad:fff View Licence

Do you need to publish a bunch of images (or any other kind of documents) but don't want to build a website? Then Fast Friendly Folders is for you! As you can see in this example, Fast Friendly Folders is an easy way to publish files on the web.

First, copy all of the images and documents that you want to share to the top-level directory of your website. If you have a lot of files, you might want to organize them into subfolders.

Second, copy the fff folder to the top-level directory of your website, and copy (not move) index.php from the fff directory to the top-level directory.

That's it!

When people point their web browsers at your site they will get an attractive listing of the files.

Customization

If you want to customize the appearance of the folder, you can edit any of the following files:

fff/settings.txt determines the website title, thumbnail sizes, etc.
fff/template.html is the page template, which you can edit using any HTML editor.
fff/css/all.css is the stylesheet used by the template, which you can also edit.

If you want to display thumbnails of your images, Fast Friendly Folders will need to be able to create the thumbnails. This requires two things:

Your web server must have the gd library installed (it is pre-installed on most commercial web hosts).
You must create the folder fff/thumbnails and make sure that the web server has permission to create files there (set "everyone can write" using your website file management tools).
