Content Query web part with folder support
Hi guys
Many of our content types have been organized using folders. WHen displayed in using a content query web part, there doesn't seem to be any support for preserving the folder structure. Is this possible using any OOTB MOSS 2007 web parts?
Tks,

Unfortuantely, no - ther CQWP is really desgined to let yu aggregarte files and items indepndednt of physical strucuture.
However, you could simulate this if you used a series of content types that were all children of a common parent - lets suppose they were "baseball" "football" and "track" - and they were children of a parent called "sports".
If your folder structure matched the content types - you had three folders names baseball, football and track - you could query for the content type "sports" and all children, and then group in the presentation options by content type to approximate the
simple folder structure.
Hope that helps.
