I have extended atricle class by a selection attribute with (single selection)

How do I fetch the name of the selection attribute in template

{$node.object.datamap.selection_attribute_identifier. **** what will be here ************ }

When I fetch the reurn array I can get only the array values 0,1,2,3,

How can I get the Value name instead of 0,1,2,3,?

Please help

Hi Romeo,

You'll need to fetch the content class attribute and then fetch the name matching your IDs 0,1,2,3 ..

See there to get the class matching your current object : http://doc.ez.no/eZ-Publish/Technical-manual/4.x/Reference/Objects/ezcontentobjecttreenode

Thanks for the reply.

that means do I need to code some conditions like if the value of array is 0 then print a name
if valuse is 2 then print next name

i have got an alternative solution by

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$valid_nodes[0].object.data_map.selection attribute}

Your alternative solution is the good one. It calls the template content/datatype/view/ezselection.tpl you should have a look at this template to understand the mechanism

You need to give the id, like array('your_class/your_attribute','=',1)
