Hi.

I have a little problem:
I want to check the value of a field in my class.

{if $node.object.data_map.<fieldname>.content = '<value>'}
  do this
{else}
  do this
{/if}

...but it doensn't work as I want it to work... any ideas??

There might be an easy way to do it, but I'm new in eZ and have some problems with it...

Thanks.

Hi Philip,

You were very close ;)

eZ publish tpl syntax uses operators for comparing values.

Look on this documentation page:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/reference/template_operators/logical_operations

Example for text string attribute:

{if eq( $node.object.data_map.<fieldname>.content.data_text, 'value' )} 
 do this 
{else} 
 do this 
{/if}
