Synopsis
AddIconByType icon mime_type1 mime_type2 ...
Server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
AddIconByType
takes an icon URL as an argument,
followed by a list of
MIME types. Apache looks for the type
entry in mime.types, either with or without a
wildcard. We have the following MIME types:
... text/html html htm text/plain text text/richtext rtx text/tab-separated-values tsv text/x-setext text ...
So, we could have one icon for all text files by including the line:
AddIconByType (TXT,icons/bomb.gif) text/*
Or we could be more specific, using four icons, a.gif, b.gif, c.gif, and d.gif :
AddIconByType (TXT,/icons/a.gif) text/html AddIconByType (TXT,/icons/b.gif) text/plain AddIconByType (TXT,/icons/c.gif) text/tab-separated-values AddIconByType (TXT,/icons/d.gif) text/x-setext
Let’s try out the simpler case:
<Directory /usr/www/APACHE3/fancyindex.txt/htdocs> FancyIndexing on AddDescription "One of our wonderful catalogs" catalog_autumn.html catalog_summer.html IndexIgnore *.jpg IndexIgnore .. AddIconByType (CAT,icons/bomb.gif) text/* AddIcon (DIR,icons/burst.gif) ^^DIRECTORY^^ </Directory>
For a further refinement, we can use
AddIconByEncoding
to give a special icon to
encoded files.
