Icons

Icons are bound to MIME content-types and encoding. These functions bind icon URLs to given content-type or encoding templates. Templates containing a slash are taken to be content-type templates, other are encoding templates.

Controlling globals

Show brackets around alternative text

By default alternative text is bracketed by square brackets (the ALT tag to IMG element). Setting the global HTDirShowBrackets to false will turn this feature off.
typedef struct _HTIconNode {
    char *	icon_url;
    char *	icon_alt;
    char *	type_templ;
} HTIconNode;

/*
 * The list element definition to bind a CGI to a filetyp for special
 * presentation like looking in an archiv (AddHref /cgi-bin/unarch? .zip .tar)
 */
typedef struct _HTHrefNode {
    char *      href_url;
    char *      type_templ;
} HTHrefNode;

File Mode

This is a simplified file mode enumeration that can is used in directory listings.
typedef  enum _HTFileMode {
    HT_IS_FILE,				/* Normal file */
    HT_IS_DIR,				/* Directory */
    HT_IS_BLANK,			/* Blank Icon */
    HT_IS_PARENT			/* Parent Directory */
} HTFileMode;

Public functions

All of these functions take an absolute URL and alternate text to use.

/* Generates the alt-tag */
extern char * HTIcon_alt_string (char * alt,
				        BOOL   brackets);

/*
 * General icon binding.  Use this icon if content-type or encoding
 * matches template.
 */
extern void HTAddIcon (char *	url,
			      char *	alt,
			      char *	type_templ);


/*
 * Called from HTConfig.c to build the list of all the AddHref's
 */
extern void HTAddHref (char *    url,
                              char *    type_templ);


/*
 * Icon for which no other icon can be used.
 */
extern void HTAddUnknownIcon (char * url,
				     char * alt);

/*
 * Invisible icon for the listing header field to make it aligned
 * with the rest of the listing (this doesn't have to be blank).
 */
extern void HTAddBlankIcon (char * url,
				   char * alt);

/*
 * Icon to use for parent directory.
 */
extern void HTAddParentIcon (char * url,
				    char * alt);

/*
 * Icon to use for a directory.
 */
extern void HTAddDirIcon (char * url,
			         char * alt);

/*								 HTGetIcon()
** returns the icon corresponding to content_type or content_encoding.
*/
extern HTIconNode * HTGetIcon (HTFileMode	mode,
				      HTFormat		content_type,
				      HTEncoding	content_encoding);

/*
 * returns the HrefNode to get the URL for presentation of a file (indexing)
 */
extern HTHrefNode * HTGetHref ( char *  filename);


A Predifined Set of Icons

The function HTStdIconInit(url_prefix) can be used to initialize a standard icon set:
extern void HTStdIconInit (const char * url_prefix);
