RE: [viewvc-users] viewvc: Display icons based on MIME type?

FYI, the "entries.mimetype" variable is the sample code below should be
"entries.mime_type". So the corrected sample code looks like this:

    [for entries]
    ...
    
     [define file_icon]/path/to/file-icon.png[end]
     [is entries.mime_type "application/ms-word"]
      [define file_icon]/path/to/word-icon.png[end]
     [end]
     [is entries.mime_type "application/pdf"]
      [define file_icon]/path/to/pdf-icon.png[end]
     [end]
    ...

<img src="[icon]"/>...

I've implemented this in the past with no changes to ViewVC itself.  Each
file in the directory listing carries its ViewVC-determined mimetype value
already (and in ViewVC 1.1+, that could be the value from the svn:mime-type
property).  All that lacks is directory.ezt template logic to choose an icon
based on that mimetype.  Something like the following, I should think:

[for entries]
...

[define file_icon]/path/to/file-icon.png[end]
[is entries.mimetype "application/ms-word"]
  [define file_icon]/path/to/word-icon.png[end]
[end]
[is entries.mimetype "application/pdf"]
  [define file_icon]/path/to/pdf-icon.png[end]
[end]
...

<img src="[icon]"/>...
