Sander Jansen	Thursday 02 October 2003 1:33:08 am I want to use the value of an enum datatype in a switch operator... so far I figured out access to the object with $content_version.data_map.<attribute_name>.content, but how do I access the actual value?

Hi Sander,

This can be found in ezenum.tpl. I have changed the example to show enumvalue not enumelement that is in the original file.

{section name=EnumObjectList loop=$attribute.content.enumobject_list sequence=array(bglight,bgdark)}
{$EnumObjectList:item.enumvalue|wash(xhtml)}<br />
{/section}
