Updates
Posted on: 29th November 2011Hi,
I have updated ldir (1.7.7), nothing major though it's just an update to the URL where it checks for the latest version number. It's now stored in a central place where other software I have developed checks it's version.
Over the christmas period, I am planning on finalising the Helpdesk system Wonderful Help 2 and releasing it for public use; as well as looking at the ldir code to see how it can be improved as it's a long time since it has had any major work developed for it.
The media library program is developing slowly with more features being planned. There are some optimisation issues at the moment but these will be addressed prior to release.

ldir roadmap – Update
Posted on: 19th July 2011Here's a quick update on where ldir is headed in the near future.
1.7.0- Allow _GET parameters to be passed to the links generated.- 1.8.0 - Pass-Thru download action, to allow access to non web dirs.
Current version: 1.7.6
So the next major update will include a download pass-thru.
I also have a couple of optimisations to write in.
I've had fun writing ldir and hope to continue to support it after version 1.8.0 but I do not personally see anything past this version.
In other news, I have
- Updated gg-sim.co.uk's download system.
- progressed with whelp v2
- and finally, kept up my average of 75% on my MSc with just my final project left.
ldir update 1.7.6
Posted on: 4th July 2011Just a minor update.
New features are:
- Icons are now hosted on dropbox as it's faster loading and I can add support to allow others to add icons.
- Rewrote the PHP4 scandir support so its a bit faster
- Edited the file/folder checking routine so it's less resource hungry.
- Added support to modify where the icons are hosted.

Today…
Posted on: 9th June 2011Well today, I released an update to ldir, nothing major; the biggest change is the refresh link, which now doesn't refresh the icon cache.
I have also made headway on the development of whelp2.
whelp or WonderfulHelp is my helpdesk system that I wrote for Uni, well I'm now re-developing it to be more robust and useful.
This will then become part of my dissertation system nAdmin; the development of whelp will be recorded as part of my dissertation project.
Just a short and sweet post and dont forget to checkout ldir.
ldir bug 1.7.3-1
Posted on: 10th May 2011I have just found a bug in ldir (Bug #1), which unfortunately trails all the way to 1.6.5.
The bug doesn't effect PHP5 installations but it effects all PHP4 installations.
I unknowingly used the function strripos() and stripos() which were only introduced in PHP5. The bug got past because I was using a personally modded PHP4 install.
I will be patching the current code to include a check for the functions, like I did with scandir() function. I will also be issuing a patch file which you will have to require_once() before ldir which will contain the patch for any previous version.
Sorry for any inconvenience and this bug fix is top priority.
Edit:
Bug fix (1.7.3-1 0.0.3) is online and ldir is now fixed.
Changelog entry 1.7.3-1 logs this bug, found in version 1.7.3 bug 1.
And FYI 0.0.3 is version 0.0.3 of the fix, yes it took 3 attempts!
