Fraser Hore	Sunday 16 October 2005 2:33:21 pm I'm using a fetch of the attributes of a class to be able to use the attribute names as column headers of a table. The trick bit is i'd like to be able to set the attributes that are printed and therefore the columns that are created. With an if eq statement I can get a match on one attribute identifier (see below), but i'd like to be able to test against the array of desired attributes/columns. I tried to use the or operator (see commented out line) but i'm not sure exactly how it works. Any suggestions? {gather attributes for a node object’s class and assign to $attributes variable} {def $attributes=fetch( 'content', 'class_attribute_list', hash( 'class_id', $class.object.contentclass_id ) )} {start the table} <table border="1"> {create the headers row using each attribute name as a column header} <th> <tr> {foreach $attributes as $attribute} {if eq( $attribute.identifier, 'organization_name')} {if or( $attribute.identifier [, organization_name' [, 'org_type']])} <td> {$attribute.name\|wash} </td> {/if} {/foreach} </tr> </th> Thanks!

Bruce Morrison	Sunday 16 October 2005 5:26:14 pm Hi Fraser I think you are after something like: {gather attributes for a node object's class and assign to $attributes variable} {def $attributes=fetch( 'content', 'class_attribute_list', hash( 'class_id', $class.object.contentclass_id ) )} {start the table} <table border="1"> {create the headers row using each attribute name as a column header} <th> <tr> {foreach $attributes as $attribute} {if or(eq( $attribute.identifier, 'organization_name'),eq( $attribute.identifier ,'org_type'))} <td> {$attribute.name\|wash} </td> {/if} {/foreach} </tr> </th> Cheers Bruce My Blog: http://www.stuffandcontent.com/ Follow me on twitter: http://twitter.com/brucemorrison Consolidated eZ Publish Feed : http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ez-publish
Fraser Hore	Monday 17 October 2005 10:30:02 am Brilliant! Thanks Bruce it worked! The examples in the documentation for the "or" operator really threw me off. I couldn't figure out what was being compared and assumed it was the first parameter. Your code makes a lot more sense. Cheers, Fraser

{*gather attributes for a node object’s class and assign to $attributes variable*}
{def $attributes=fetch( 'content', 'class_attribute_list', hash( 'class_id', $class.object.contentclass_id ) )}

{*start the table*}
<table border="1">

{*create the headers row using each attribute name as a column header*}
<th>
<tr>
{foreach $attributes as $attribute}
{if eq( $attribute.identifier, 'organization_name')}
{*if or( $attribute.identifier [, organization_name' [, 'org_type']])*}
<td>
{$attribute.name|wash}
</td>
{/if}
{/foreach}
</tr>
</th>

Thanks!

Hi Fraser

I think you are after something like:

{*gather attributes for a node object's class and assign to $attributes variable*}
{def $attributes=fetch( 'content', 'class_attribute_list', hash( 'class_id', $class.object.contentclass_id ) )}

{*start the table*}
<table border="1">

{*create the headers row using each attribute name as a column header*}
<th>
<tr>
{foreach $attributes as $attribute}
  {if or(eq( $attribute.identifier, 'organization_name'),eq( $attribute.identifier ,'org_type'))}
<td>
{$attribute.name|wash}
</td>
  {/if}
{/foreach}
</tr>
</th>

Cheers
