[Zope-CMF] CMF Browser

[Ausum Studio]

The answer to your question is no, as far as I know there isn't a product
for that, maybe because it's more a Javascript issue than a Zope's one.

For the Zope part you'd need to know how to browse the whole permitted
content inside a window. Take 'main.dtml' (inside
ZOPEROOT/lib/python/OFS/dtml) as a startpoint, and downsize it to your
convenience. Within the CMF you can can also pick the 'folder_contents' skin
for that same purpose. Once you have the navigateable pop-up window, to pass
the paths to the field is a matter of javascript.

To get the folder object use (inside a PythonScript):

FolderObjectbyPath = context.restrictedTraverse(path_to_folder)
