Hi,
I trying to display a list of objects containing a selection datatype value. I cannot find this value anywhere under data_map!!
{$node.0.data_map.myoptionlist.content} i.e seems to contain the index within the option list, I can't find it's 'real' value though!
Any clues? thanks!t

Have you tried the usual:
{$node.0.data_map.myoptionlist|attribute(show)}

Well, that's another problem I have. {$:item|attribute(show)} works but when I try to list any other objects/arrays below that, I get a blank site or a timeout: {$:item.data_map|attribute(show)} -> blank site{$:item.object|attribute(show)} -> timeout
BUT: I found it. Using {attribute_view_gui} made it! I was trying to access it with {$node.data_map.myoptionlist.xy}, which works for most datatypes, but not for selection!
Thanks Paul!t

I often find i resort to looking at the ez templates to see how they do it :)
Look at this:
design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezselection.tpl
This is the code used when {attribute_view_gui} is called.

Yep, that I did, thinking "how the hell are they doing it" before I stopped realizing "shouldn't attribute_view_gui display just that ver template!? Yes, it should!
Too much computer work makes one so narrow-minded...
