Roxanna Samii	Tuesday 02 March 2004 9:14:17 am 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=$Child:item} <hr> { End of loop. } {/section} { End of namespace. *} {/let}
Alex Jones	Tuesday 02 March 2004 9:25:36 am Yes, it is possible try using: {attribute_view_gui attribute=$: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.

<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}

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

{$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.
