Need to select a folder from a folder list

Hi,
I need to select a folder from a folder list in DCT. I found that it is possible to select a perticular file , but not a folder.
I need a browsing pop up of folders. From that list 1 folder needs to be selected.
Could anyone please help.

Thanks,
Schak

One way to do this is to write a Customized CGI script which lists the folders in a seperate cgi window and return a folder(or a path to subfolder/folder). It is pretty much doable.

How many folders are you looking for (and levels) ? Does is truly need to be dynamic ?

The CGI approach is the best, but also more complicated.

You could (say if you only had a small number of folders) create a select list populated with an inline, so when the DCR is opened, the inline reads the folder structure and populates the list. Again if you are looking at 10, 20, 30 different folders, not a bad option. If it could be 1 of hundreds, use the CGI.

You can also use the select list with FormAPI and a call server to filter out options, but that is getting more close to the CGI option.
