Hi, I do not understand the functionality of the "Show children" check box on folders. There is no difference, if I check it or not. Can someone explain this?
Regards,
Heiner

Heiner, You would only notice a difference if the item you enabled show children on had child items. For example a folder with a several child articles inside. If you had show children enabled, your user templates (at least the default templates) would display a list of the child items when viewing the parent folder. //kracker nothing left to quip ...

Thanks Kracker for your fast reply. But, I have the main folder in a plain installation, and there I have one "sub"-folder. in the main folder I disabled the show children of the main folder, but I'm still seeing the child folder. The plain system displays everything: folders and articles. Doese this feature really works??

To be sure, the feature works quite well, but you don't have to take my word for it, it's only been v3.0 -> v 3.6. It is your installation that is suspect I'm afraid. Be sure to clear all of your cache? //kracker <i>Them (Dose-One, Jel) - Another Part of the Clown's Brain</i>

well, okey, maybe its my windows installation. the cache is fine, the version is the newest available 3.5.2 and even, thats by the way really great, the hide and reveal works: but not the show children ...

Hi, The show children feature isn't something "hardcoded" into ez, that's just a convention. The plain template doesn't take into account that flag, as the base does. have a look at design/base/override/templates/full/folder.tpl (the one that hide children). Copy it to your plain layout if you want this behavior.

right, I got it now too: design/base/override/templates/full/folder.tpl
{section show=$node.object.data_map.show_children.content}
<p>Show Children = yes</p>
{section-else}
<p>Show Children = no</p>
{/section}
Ok, its not hardcoded, and its good to know, because it looks like a system behaviour.
Thanks for your help!
Nice day,
Heiner
