PyroCMS - List all files in a theme folder

Question

Im building a custom module in PyroCMS 2.2

I cant see any documentation on how to create a dropdown box listing all files withing a theme directory.

This is to be used in my custom module /admin area. What I want to do is let the user select a file that exist in their theme directory.

The list must show all files listed in the partials/MOD_NAME directory.

If someone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate this.

theme_name\
          \js
          \css
          \views
               \partials\ 
                        \MOD_NAME\

This is not exactly related to Pyro but all you need to do is scan the directory and then output the files.

Take a look at http://php.net/manual/en/function.scandir.php

$themeFiles = scandir(theme_root() . "/views/partials/MOD_NAME/");

theme_root() is a made up function name to get the point across.

For the actual path to the theme itself you might try looking at http://docs.pyrocms.com/2.1/api/classes/Plugin_Theme.html specifically this part:

Path

path() : string Get the path to the theme

Usage: {{ theme:path }}

Returns

string The path to the theme (relative to web root).
