Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.

However, i don't think this is enough information to complete the task.

1. The code to acheive this is documented I suspect - ok i'll read and experiment - I am not asking to be completely spoon fed!
2. Once I have the template code does inserting it into embed_class_x.tpl and placing this in the correct override dir automatically produce the desired result?
3. What else is there to do to complete the task?

Like I said previously, "The help i have read seems to assume to much knowledge to complete the process .."

many thanks for persevering with me!

Hi Alan,
I actually did something similar for articles on my web design. In your case you want to relate folders. Your solution will be a little different but basically the same idea. If you want to do folders, override your full folder view with your own folder.tpl (you may have done that already) and add the following code to your folder.tpl wherever you want your list to appear i.e. right column:

{*Related Objects List*}
{let enableendtag=0 name=Rel}
{section show=count($node.object.related_contentobject_array)|gt(0)}
{section loop=$node.object.related_contentobject_array}
{section-exclude match=$:item.contentclass_id|eq(5)}
{switch match=$:index}
{case match=0}
{* if starttag *}
{set enableendtag=1}
<table width="150" border=0 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 class="related-information-table">
<tr>
<td align="center">Related Information<td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><ul>
<li><a class="related-information-link" href={concat("/content/view/full/",$:item.main_node.node_id)|ezurl}>{$:item.name}</a></li>
{/case}
{case}
<li><a class="related-information-link" href={concat("/content/view/full/",$:item.main_node.node_id)|ezurl}>{$:item.name}</a></li>
{/case}
{/switch}
{/section}
{section show=$:enableendtag}
</ul></td>
</tr>
</table>
{/section}
{/section}
{/let}
{*End Related Information Link*}

The line {section-exclude match=$:item.contentclass_id|eq(5)} ensures that any related images are not included in your related items list. This was particualrily important for relating articles since most articles contain related images but it will likely be a non-issue for folders.

Hope this helps.
