Hi all,

How do I check that a selection datatype has a certain value?

I've tried this code without success.

{section show=eq( $node.object.data_map.aktivitetstype, Utdanning )}
<tr bgcolor="#CCCC99">
{/section}

The code 

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.aktivitetstype}

shows the value Utdanning

Hi

The reason is that $node.object.data_map.aktivitetstype is still an object, where you need the value.

For simple text/numerical/date datatypes, you can access the real value through the .content member. For the more complex datatypes, you need more. The selection datataype can be one or more values so the following code should work if I remember correctly:

{section show=eq( $node.object.data_map.aktivitetstype.content.0, 'Utdanning' )}
<tr bgcolor="#CCCC99">
{/section}


The specifier content.0 means the first element of the array which is returned in the case of the selection datatype

What output do you get from

$node.object.data_map.aktivitetstype.data_int

Try matching on that in stead:

{section show=eq( $node.object.data_map.aktivitetstype.data_int, NUMBER  )}
<tr bgcolor="#CCCC99">
{/section}

Hope this helps.
