Hi DW,

Now that you're so fond of items, you may be able to help me solve a slight issue I have here. I'm trying to get rid of the "old" filepublish module, but I'm stuck when it comes to the issue of setting a path to a folder, and list its content, i.e. in a simple <ul> list. Is that in any way possible with items, and how?

You can use the Folder item field for this (see http://manual.dynamicweb-cms.com/Default.aspx?ID=7592#31798).

In your template you can list all files in the folder selected in your item like this (assuming your field is called Folder)

@foreach (var file in GetLoop("Item.Folder.ListOfFiles")) {
    <pre>@file.TemplateTags()</pre>
}

Best regards,
Mikkel

Hi Mikkel,

We are trying to apply this on a product detail (eCom), getting the folder from the Area (an item).

This means that I don't have the folder loop on the eCom Product detail, so how could I loop though the files getting the folder path through the API?

Best Regards,

Nuno

You cannot use the loop, but you can access the item and the property data using

@Pageview.Area.Item["Item.Folder.ListOfFiles"]

But it will not give you the loop, so you have to manage some data your self.

Or you can make a product template extender that renderes the area item on the product detail - it has to do something like this:

Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Rendering.Renderer.RenderAreaItem(Pageview.Area.Item, templateInstance);

Make sure that you DO NOT do this on product lists, but only on product detail.
