It is working. You probably didn't enter a title for the ZPT. If you want to display the
folder's title, use

 context/__parent__/zope:title

BTW: The 'title' is not the same as 'name', which has to be entered whenever
an object is created in zmi. You may have created a folder called 'Some Cool
Title' but title has to be set as DublinCore metadata which can be modified
in the '@@EditMetaData.html' browser view. To get the name of the folder,
use

 context/__parent__/__name__
