    Hello,

    i’m testing the $useCategoryFolders feature of DropMenu, but it won’t work.
    Empty folders have links too!
    I use the DropMenu in my Default Template!

    //... In order to use Category Folders,
    // the template must be set to (blank) or it won’t work properly.

    How I should understand this?!

    greets,

      When you edit a document, you can choose its template. Select "blank". Save.

        Hi,

        Because of conditionnal test in DropMenu you have to set the template to (blank) for folders you wish to use as category.
        the blank template is empty.

        :-)

          Btw, if you need to have more features in your menu builder snippet, Wayfinder can do category folders too..

            Thanks! Now it sounds logical wink
            Oh thanks doze, but at the moment I’m glad with DropMenu.

            Is there any way to ignore the setting "Show in Menu" (excepct for hacking the snipped). Because
            I want show the content of a folder in another document (but not in the main Menu). ListIndexer is not exactly what I want, because it shows not ALL messeges in a folder.
