Showing categories in content detail list (browse.jsp)

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi

We would like to show the categories that has been linked to the content/documents in the detail view list.
I am aware of the potential problems arising if there are many categories.

Specifically we have a category that named Status and under this we have 2 subcategories named Pending and Approved.

I would like to display the chosen Status category in a Status column in the details list view.

TIA

Regards

the possibilities in Freemarker templates

</body>
</html>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

specifically

<#list child.properties["cm:categories"] as prop>
${prop.name}<br/>
</#list>


This seems to work part of the way.

<a:column id="categories" style="text-align:left">
<f:facet name="header">
<a:sortLink id="categories-sort" label="Categories" value="cm:categories" styleClass="header" />
</f:facet>
<hutputText id="categories-txt" value="#{r.properties['cm:categories']}" />
</a:column>

Now I just need to iterate the categories. I am not familiar with the JSF format for iterating, and have been looking at the alfresco tags docs and JSF in general.
Anyone?
