Create web page from folder contents

[General]

Hi,

I have a folder into which people can put presentations (ppt or pdf) there is a web page that acts as a isting of files that users can click to download. At the moment I create the index page by hand but wondered if it was possibe to create this index automatically whenever someone drops a file into the folder?

Many Thanks

Chris

You can use a folder action similar to this one:

on adding folder items to theDir after receiving theFiles
set output to “”
repeat with i in (list folder theDir without invisibles)
set output to output & “<a href=”" & i & “”>" & i & “
” & return
end repeat
output
end adding folder items to

Simply modify it as you need: encode special characters, write the html to a specific location, add error trapping just in case, blah, blah, blah…
