RE:Regarding the document library webpart..

Hello,

There is not such a property, which would allow you to browse subfolders in a document library, but you can simulate it by adding some navigation web part above or under your document library and if you set document library's path to {%Path["."]%}/%, the library will change its content depending on current path.

Best regards,
Jan Hermann

RE:Regarding the document library webpart..

Hello,

Yes, I understand what you want to achieve, but the document library web part can handle only the cms.file document type (not the cms.folder one), so you can achieve this behavior only by combination of the document library web part and some navigation web part as I mentioned it in the previous post.

Best regards,
Jan Hermann

RE:Regarding the document library webpart..

Hello,

Of course, please make sure, that your folders use the same template as the document (Properties -> Template), on which will be your document library and add into this template for example the CSS List menu web part and fill its properties as it is shown below:

Path: ./%
Document types: CMS.Folder
Maximum nesting level: 1

This template will also contain the Document library web part with this set property:

Library path: ./%

So now, when you click on the folder, the document library shows its files.

Best regards,
Jan Hermann

RE:Regarding the document library webpart..

Hello,

Do you have also some files under your test page and under those folders? It should displays files under the test page and when you click on a folder then it should display files belong under this folder. Could you please doublecheck properties you have set? It would be great, if you could post here screenshots of the test page, test subfolder and your content tree.

Best regards,
Jan Hermann

RE:Regarding the document library webpart..

Hello,

Ok, let's take this step by step once again. Let's have following document structure:

User image

Please make sure, that you use the same template on folders as on the library page and place on this template the CSS List menu web part and fill its properties as it is shown below:

User image

Add also a Document library web part on this template and set the following property:

User image

So when you now come to the library page, you will see files under this page:

User image

And when you click on the sublibrary1 link, you will see filles under this sublibrary:

User image

But if you want to display folders as you posted it in your previous post, you will have to develop your own web part, because that can't be done by our Document library web part. For more information about developing web parts please follow the link below to our documentation:

RE:Regarding the document library webpart..

Hello,

You might be able to display those attributes, but only through a customization, because none of our web parts can do that. You will probably need to create a web part, which will get sorting preferences from a querystring and which will be able to browse children files and summarize their sizes for a folder size. Other attributes like modified date or folder name are available through document's fields DocumentModifiedWhen and NodeName. You can find more information in our documentation:
