Need help with Greg's browser

I downloaded Greg Zevin's directory browser callouts (52258 & 52260) and am having trouble getting them to work properly. I am using TeamSite 6.7 under Windows 2003. I installed the callout in my DCT and when the window comes up, it says there are no files or directories. I have tried using filebrowser.cgi and dir_browser_callout.cgi with similar results. Can anyone help?

My guess would be that Greg's Browser is designed to work for TS552 (or earlier) and that Iwov has changed the CGI-interface in TS6x.

You'll need to dive into the code, check what cgi-params are used and then compare these with the ts6x cgi-params. A ts552 install would be very helpfull for this. :-)

Two questions come to my mind:
- why does Iwov not deliver a *supported* cross-branch-file-browser?
- why does Iwov change a (cgi-)interface without prior warning or support?

:-)

Good luck, Ronald

I have fixed the browser to work for 6.X. but I don't use it myself too much. Just recently I saw another browser, that was reskinned, and probably was made out of my code.

it's not only the params. It was related to the new version of URI::Escape. It was working differently to the one I used previously.

about your questions -

- it's not only cross-branch browser. It's a customisable standard browser that could browse to: cross-branch, staging - basically any vpath. And have the option to browse directories.
- Interwoven, to it's credit, did warn about the change of parameters, this was back to 6.0 times.

Great. Can you please point me to the fixed code or to the new reskinned version? Thanks.

I have no intention to repost this as an article. If you mail me from your address, (my email is in my profile) or PM me, I will send you the modified code.

A cannot send the other code, though, as it's not mine.
