Selecting directories rather than files

I’d like to be able to select a directory with a TV. I tried using input type "File" but it only lets you select an actual file, not a directory.

Thinking of submitting a feature request, but I’m wondering... is this behavior standard ExtJS behavior? Outside the reasonable scope of a feature request?

You could achieve this with a new (or modified File) input type variable.

Expanding a directory in the MODX Browser triggers a number of events you can hook into - by default this is the listener that is added to the MODX browser for file tvs:


The "select" event seems to be triggered when you click "OK".
The "selectionchange" event is triggered when selecting both an image and a directory, so you could hook up an event to that to enable the select button.

I’d go for the feature request - an input option that decides if you can select files or directories would probably be a good idea if you ask me

If you just want this in the Manager, you might also consider using something like this in the TV:



Then write a snippet called getDirectories to make the list.
