Display documents with categories using Templates

Hi All,

I am trying to create a Presentation Template (Freemarker template) to customise my folder view. On the selected space, the custom view should show the details only for those documents that contain categories. I have written the following FTL template. But, it shows a big vacant space in my custom view. I assume its because the files in the space does not contain categories assigned to it. Can you suggest where am I going wrong please.

Thank you
Aswini

I think it is possible to iterate just over the direct children of a space with

<#list space.children as child>
….
</#list>
