You could use a simple substring operation to remove the "/Company Home" part of the displaypath. FreeMarker has a substring and you can also use array access to the elements in a string.

Thanks,

Kevin

Just to add to Kevin's comment:

If doing string substitution on the displaypath, ensure you use companyhome.name rather than hard-coding "Company Home" in your Freemarker script.

Thanks you for the pointer in using the substring method, feeling myself a bit ashamed i didn't think of this. When finished I will post the Freemarker template in this thread.
