Is there a way to display the contents of the "media" folder within this plugins index?
Thanks

yup, pretty simple. feel like editing?
add this to your functions.inc file:
//scans media dir and returns extant files
function ups_scanDir(){
global $_CONF;
$mediadir = $_CONF['path_html'] . 'media/';
if (is_dir($mediadir)){
if ($dh = @opendir($mediadir)){
$retval = '<p>This is a list of all files currently residing in the Uploads media directory.</p>';
$retval .= '<ul style="list-style-position:inside;">';
//loop thru dir for files only
$i = 0;
while (($file = @readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (filetype($mediadir . $file) == 'file' && $file != '.' && $file != '..'){
$filesize = ups_readbytes(filesize($mediadir . $file));
$retval .= '<li><b>Filename</b>:' . $file . ' <b>size</b>:' . $filesize . '</li>';
$i++;
}
}
$retval .= '</ul>';
clearstatcache();
closedir($dh);
if ($i <= 0){
$retval = 'No files exist in ' . $mediadir;
}
} else $retval = $mediadir . ' is not available.';
} else $retval = $mediadir . ' is not available.';
return $retval;
}
not done yet
need to add a call to that function in index.php.
edit the last code block in your public_html/uploads/index.php to look like the following:
$display = COM_endBlock();
$display .= COM_startBlock('Current Media');
$display .= ups_scanDir();
$display .= COM_endblock();
$display .= COM_siteFooter(true);
echo $display;
that should do it--worked for me.
I needed a break from the gallery anyway.

Awesome! Worked perfectly 
And I've been looking at your gallery for as long as I've been using Geeklog (3 days ) and can't wait to have it running when it's released, my site needs a gallery like no other - guild site for an online game = tonnes of screenshots - so I'm using your uploads plugin to atleast give the users the ability to put up screens they can display in the forums.
Once again, thanks for your help

Hmm.. I seem to be having trouble with permissions. I've set a group with the uploads.admin access but they still can't get into the page. They're hit with the access denied instead. I've looked at the group list and it says they're all users of it so I'm really confused

Text Formatted Code
if (!SEC_inGroup('Root') || !SEC_hasRights('uploads.admin')){Text Formatted Code

Thanks, I just ended up changing 'Root' to 'User Group' after staring at it for a while and that kicked in.
Beautiful work
