Directory view of sub-pages

Question

I have a request from my client that I am not to sure how to do. They want to be able
to pull up a zip file with layers of folders and sub-folders. They want one of two possibilities:
1) Create one region that would contain the main folder. They click on it and it opens up
a series of sub-folders beaneath it. If the sub-folder has documents or other just items then they
should display in a second region. Essentially make it look it Explorer.
2) Almost exactly the same as 1 except everything is displayed in one region.
I tried a sub-display item but it works in more of a drill down approach (opening
up new pages when I click on the sub-page).
Is there any way I can get the explorer type of look and feel.

Thought as much.
Here you go.
Re: Controller customization
The code is for a pge navigator, but you can write the query against wwv_corners
and get the same result.
I think you might be talking about something different. If i were to zip up
a folder full of several subfolders, add the zip file to my root page of the portal
and then unzip it, the portal automatically takes the sub-folders within
the zip and translates them into sub-pages. I dont have a problem with that.
It is almost what I want. The problem I have is that to get to anything you
have to drill down through the sub-pages. I would like it all contained
within a region. Ie. If I have a folder named HR and clicked on it within
the region it would expand WITHIN the region (rather than going to a separate
page) to display the sub-folders (similar to the way Windows Explorer) works. And if I
clicked on a sub-folder it would expand to show its contents within the region.
This way I can see the folder, sub-folder and contents all at the same time in the
same region.
The Object Map link sort of does this but when I click on the link it still goes
to a separate page to display the tree hierarchy and it doesn't display the contents
of a sub-page (plus it displays every page group created by every developer and we
would like to limit it to just show the page groups and pages that a
user has access to).
I tried an I-Frame and it sort of worked. It kept everything in the same region on the
root page but when I clicked on a folder it drilled down to the next sub-page
rather than expand it like Windows Explorer does. So it's only advantage is that
it doesnt take you out of the region, it drills down to the sub pages within the
region.
Maybe I have to develop something myself, I dont Know. I was just hoping there
was a quick and dirty way to get it to work.
