Andrew Duck	Wednesday 17 September 2008 4:49:31 am Hi Safi, The underlying requirements for templates won't change, but it will depend a little on what you have done to your override.ini and templates at this point in time. If you installed with the eZ Website Interface or eZ Flow you should have some nice templates that cover a majority of this functionality for you, with only minor tweaks. You will require an override template for the full view of your folder, which in turn will do a fetch of your subfolders, and then display them using a line view or similar template. If you are working with the ezwebin extension, a simple modification of <i>/extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/override/templates/full/folder.tpl</i> should get your subfolders displayed. If you look at lines 34-36, you will see that if the depth is less than 3 then folder and infobox are both excluded from the immediately following fetch. If you remove the folder option from these lines then you should start seeing your folders. Regards, Andrew Andrew Duck, Executive Director, Quiqcorp Limited eZ Certified Developer and Trainer.
