Hi all,
I am setting up my own assetsadmin that instead of pulling from the regular assets folder on the server, it pulls from an assets folder on Amazon s3. I have my upload to S3 working but now I need to list my directories correctly. It looks like I need to do my own SiteTreeAsUL function which is currently writen like

/** 
	 * Return the entire site tree as a nested UL.
	 * @return string HTML for site tree
	 */
	public function SiteTreeAsUL() {

   
   
   
		$obj = singleton('Folder');
		$obj->setMarkingFilter('ClassName', ClassInfo::subclassesFor('Folder'));
		$obj->markPartialTree(30, null, "ChildFolders");

		if($p = $this->currentPage()) $obj->markToExpose($p);

		// getChildrenAsUL is a flexible and complex way of traversing the tree
		$siteTreeList = $obj->getChildrenAsUL(
			'',
			'"<li id=\"record-$child->ID\" class=\"$child->class" . $child->markingClasses() .  ($extraArg->isCurrentPage($child) ? " current" : "") . "\">" . ' .
			'"<a href=\"" . Controller::join_links(substr($extraArg->Link(),0,-1), "show", $child->ID) . "\" class=\"" . ($child->hasChildFolders() ? " contents" : "") . "\" >" . $child->TreeTitle() . "</a>" ',
			$this,
			true,
			"ChildFolders"
		);	

		// Wrap the root if needs be
		$rootLink = $this->Link() . 'show/root';
		$baseUrl = Director::absoluteBaseURL() . "assets";
		if(!isset($rootID)) {
			$siteTree = "<ul id=\"sitetree\" class=\"tree unformatted\"><li id=\"record-root\" class=\"Root\"><a href=\"$rootLink\"><strong>{$baseUrl}</strong></a>"
			. $siteTreeList . "</li></ul>";
		}

		return $siteTree;
	}

I need to somehow parse from the XML file I get back from Amazon that shows my files and folder structure and plug it in.
Can someone point me into the right direction? I am having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

Actually, I have another idea. Can I just overwrite the sync function to upload the folder structure from my xml file to the database instead. Would that be a better idea?
