In template view I show a number of folders which also have subfolders. What I would like to have happen is that when someone clicks on a folder I get a fresh view with a list of the subfolders and files. Right now what happens is: 1- It goes to the treeview 2- It opens the folder, and shows its attributes along with the contents. Option 2 is closer to my goal, but the attributes basically mess up the clean view. Is there any way to make it act as I mentioned above.

Hi Phil, You can edit the templates to get rid of the attributes if that's what you mean. Check out the templateview help document and check out the page template you're using. It is possible to make it behave differently for a folder than a file. Let me know if you get stuck. Peter

So far I am using the standard Template. I have mad a few changes.
Could you point me a little closer to where I would change the folder behavior?

Thanks
One more thing: The edit icons on my template are stacking vertically rather than horizontally.
I have checked the template and it is a single row with a varying number of Icons. I have tried widening the table and setting the cell width but the icons still stack vertically.

Does this happen to you? Here is a snippet from the rendered html:

Would display: block cause this?

Sorry, I can't seem to get the code inserted correctly.

The icons were displaying horizontal in IE, but vertical in FF 3. I changed block style to inline on the icons table at the top and it now displays horizontally.

I believe this was fixed in the default templates for 05.00.01.

For the meta data stuff in the collection look for this: div style="display:[entry:iscollection\|block;none]" class="MetaDataContainer" You'll notice this div displays when it is a folder (=collection) and not when it isn't Peter
