Is a non JS version possible? How to wget files?
-
@jdaviescoates I published a new version 5.16.0 which has basic noscript support.
I decided against @mehdi 's suggestion, since the UI flicker during folder navigation was a bit too much. Generally I would have preferred that though. -
@nebulon great, thanks! I'll let that reddit thread know and see if the people who were having issues before are OK now
@nebulon I just tried doing wget -r myself and it worked perfectly!
However, if you e.g. install noscript extension and visit it you can't actually scroll down pages.
So even though it's now possible to wget the files (which is great, thanks!), it's still not possible to simply browse the files in a browser without javascript enabled.
It'd be awesome if that could be made possible too!?

@jdaviescoates NoScript is different from "a browser without javascript enabled". NoScript removes the script tags, but does not disable javascript. If you go to another browser, actually disable javascript in the preferences, it should work

I just tried that too, but it doesn't seem to work. Still can't scroll down pages e.g. https://library.uniteddiversity.coop/Cooperatives/

As @mehdi mentiones the NoScript extension is not the right thing here, but if you go to
about:configin Firefox and setjavascript.enabledto false, then even without a browser restart you would see the static page instead. Haven't tested chrome based browser though. -

Haven't tested chrome based browser though.@nebulon thanks, but even just doing that (and the equivalent in Chromium) it's not that I don't see the static page, I do. It's that you can't scroll down the page and browse files further down the page.
e.g. turn off javascript and go here: https://library.uniteddiversity.coop/Cooperatives/ and you can't get past here:

@jdaviescoates well that is the basic noscript page for now. I guess it is not sorted nor gives indication of the filetype, yet.

Well, it looks like it is sorted alphabetically anyway and you can see the filetype anyway from the filename.
Just can't scroll down the page.
But you've solved the primary issue of not being able to wget the files so thanks for that.

@jdaviescoates oh you were referring to scrolling! Have to see which css needs tweaking to support both cases then.

That'd be great!
