I need test if a price attribute has a value greater than 0 for showing it or not. I try multiple variations of

{section show=$namespace:item.data_map.price|gt(0)}
or
{section show=$namespace:item.data_map.price|ne("0,00 ¤")}

but it don't work.

price has many attributes such as:

"inc_vat_price"
"ex_vat_price"
"discount_price_inc_vat"
"discount_price_ex_vat"
"price"

look at your price object by:

{$namespace:item.data_map.price|attribute(show)}

and take your pick of the objects attributes to use in your test. what you are currently doing is comparing the price object with a number or text which cannot work.

hope this helps

erm, not sure! it shouldn't return a server error...

do your other attributes get the same error?

which ez version are you using?

Yes, it's a class with 4 attributes, a text-line and 3 prices. If I test any attribute I receive same error.

> which ez version are you using?
I'm using 3.02 version.
If I try {$namespace:item|attribute(show)} I receive a lot of info, but nothing about attributes of class

$namespace:item is probably an object that has a data_map as an attribute and you should see your four attributes. can you confirm that $namespace:item.data_map.price is an attribute? maybe it is slightly different...

the error does sound odd. what does the error say?

ez, can you comment?

Yes, "price" is only a sample my object's attributes are "especie" (text-line), "frontal" (price), "craneo" (price) and "pecho" (price).

You can see the {item|attribute(show)} info at http://www.mcytp.com/index.php/user/content/view/full/120

The exact code is:
<td class="safari" valign="top">
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$category:product:item.data_map.especie}
{$category:product:item|attribute(show)}
</td>

> the error does sound odd. what does the error say?
I don't know because I haven't access to server, I have a hosting service on an external provider.
If you want I can change to cause error and you can see it

Thanks a lot

hmm,

{$category:product:item.data_map.frontal|attribute(show)}

should work.

really not sure why it is producing this error.

on the other hand, see if lines like

{$category:product:item.data_map.frontal.content.price} {$category:product:item.data_map.frontal.content.inc_vat_price} {$category:product:item.data_map.frontal.content.ex_vat_price}

work.

if it does you should be able to compare.

In relation to the error, I'm guessing that you are using IE. If so it are being spared the real error message. Go into options (under advanced I think) and turn off "Show user friendly HTTP errors" and you may get more information.

Try using
{$category:product:item.datamap|attribute(show,2)}
or
{$category:product:item.object|attribute(show,2)}

To get more data

BTW I can visit the url you have posted.

phew! if you are at summer camp ill take you up on that!

just so you know you can always look at the template code ez have within the design/standard directory. in this case i looked at the file:

design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezprice.tpl

for how they reference that datatype for viewing. this is the code the {attribute_view_gui} call will use to display that datatype.

Sorry, I don't.

Yes, I modify/override this template for showing price, but I don found how test for a attribute value.

Yes I use this operator for show attributes in <table>s
