[opencms-dev] cms.getFilesInFolder()

[Alexander Kandzior]

David,

in OpenCms, Files and Folders are different things, but both are
"Resources".

So get all files and folders in a folder you need:

CmsObject.getFilesInFolder(folder)
CmsObject.getSubFolders(folder)

and there is also a 

CmsObject.getResourcesInFolder(folder) 

Best Regards,
Alex.
