In the common download area of our website I use a folder asset which should includes the available download
files as a list (each download file is a file asset). If I create a shortcut of such file asset and add
this file shortcut to a separate folder asset on a product page, then I have no more access to the shortcut
properties (like fileIcon, fileSize etc) of the shortcutted file asset. The folder template on the product pages
takes the fileIcon as well as fileSize from the shortcut asset and not from the shortcutted file asset. Is there way
to use the properties of shortcutted file asset within this separate folder template?    

Thank you in advance for any hint.

Bye

Actually, yes! And it's one of my favorite WebGUI templating tricks.

Create a new folder template with this code:

<tmpl_loop file.loop>
  ^AssetProxy(<tmpl_var url>);
</tmpl_loop>

Note: this is off the top of my head, so check the syntax!

Now the folder template will display the file asset itself. You can use the file's usual template or make a new one and override it in the shortcut overrides. Add HTML if and when needed.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy :-)
