am NOT trying to place a folder within a smart folder. I'm placing a smart
folder within a regular folder and making it the default index. When the
default index is a smart folder, all of the current folder's contents
dissappear because the navigation treats the smart folder as a folder. If
the smart folder is a folder, it shouldn't be assignable as a default index,
and if it can be used as a default index than you should be able to treat it
as a regular page... In other words, when you go into the folder, you see
the smart folder in the middle and the contents of the directory in the
navigation!

However, my immediate concern is how to add a "and not empty" to the if
statement I mentioned in my first email. Maybe it makes no sense to you,
but it would work perfectly for me. I just don't know the internal workings
of Plone enough to compose the proper syntax.
As I said in another email, the missing piece of information here was
that you were using "show current folder only". I suspect the problem is
that when the smart folder is the default-page, it should be treating
the parent folder as the "current folder".
Again, though, the policy is that if that folder *appears* empty
(meaning, it has no items, *or* all its items are filtered out for one
reason or another) the navtree disappears.
As to making no sense, though... When you view a page or anything that's
non-folderish, you view that items PARENT CONTENTS in the navigation. So,
viewing the parent's contents when there's nothing in the current folderish
item makes perfect sense.
Yes, probably. I thought you were using the "start navigation at level"
functionality, when it makes no sense since parents aren't displayed anyway.
