texte = >How can nest 3 levels of [listfiles] within a single page?Yes, but you should probably try a different technique called recursion. Basically you use an [include] file that [include]s itself whenever it runs into a folder. You pass the foldername as a parameter to the [include], and at each level of depth the foldername you pass in gets longer and longer.I don't have time to test one right now, but the idea is like this:-- DisplayFolders.inc -- [listfiles [startfolder]] [ShowIf [isFolder]=T] [include file=DisplayFolders.inc&startfolder=[startfolder]/[filename]] [/ShowIf] [/listfiles]Notice how the interior loop uses [include] to do it all over again, but with a built-up path that leads one deeper in the hierarchy.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
