directory listing like content image tag

Is there way to get a dropdown menu in content editing where you could choose a specific directory and it would return the directory path in the page template?
Just like the content image tag but instead of picture files it shows just a directory list.
I think I would get the dropdown menu like that if I would edit the code of Content.inc.php. But is there any way to do that without editing the CMSMS Core files?

I just posted
here a possible solution to select multiple images using AdvancedContent and GBFilePicker and a UDT.
This can also be used to list directories only.
Code: Select all
$dir = '';
if(isset($params['dir']))
{
$dir = $params['dir'];
}
$display = 'filename';
if(isset($params['display']))
{
$display = $params['display'];
}
$output = array();
if($GBFilePicker =& cmsms()->modules['GBFilePicker']['object'])
{
$files =& $GBFilePicker->GetFiles($dir); // dir relative to the uploads dir
foreach($files as $onefile)
{
if(!onefile->is_dir) continue;
switch($display)
{
case 'relurl':
$output[] = $onefile->relurl; // this will be the url of the dir relative to the uploads dir (e.g.: images/)
break;
case 'fullurl':
$output[] = $onefile->fullurl; // this will be the full url to the directory (e.g.: yourdomain/uploads/images/)
break;
case 'filename':
default:
$output[] = $onefile->basename; // this will be the dirname only (e.g.: images)
break;
}
}
}
$_output = implode("|",$output); // this will stick the dirnames together separated by a pipe
echo $_output;
with AdvancedContent you now can create a dropdown or a multi select list in your template to be used in backend:
Code: Select all
{content block="dirs" label="Select a directory" block_type="dropdown" items=":::list_dirs:::" values=":::list_dirs display='relurl':::" smarty=true}
This should print out a dropdown with dirs only.
