Here is my code. I would like to display the folder description of a child folder to the Links folder. Is it possible?
<h1>Useful links</h1>

{let children=fetch( content, list, hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id,
sort_by, $node.sort_array,
limit, 7,
class_filter_type, include,
class_filter_array, array(
'folder','link') ) )}

{* LOOP: For each child of the node... *}

{section name=Child loop=$children}
{* Display the content of the child using a line-view template. *}

{node_view_gui view=line content_node=$Child:item}
<hr>
{* End of loop. *}
{/section}
{* End of namespace. *}
{/let}

Yes, it is possible try using:

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$:item.data_map.description}

Also, a really useful tool when trying to figure out how to display parts of an item is <i>|attribute()</i>. For example, try adding the following code to a template to see information about the currently viewed node:

{$node|attribute()}

If you want more information than a single level of information you can change it to <i>attribute(2)</i> which would show a couple of levels, or <i>attribute(show)</i> which will show everything.

This can seem like information overload until you realize that it will allow you to figure out sometimes-complex paths to information.

Hope this helps,

Alex
