Hello all, i am really struggling with getting the value out of the selection datatype into my template.
So far i have the following code. where briefing_area is the name of the selection datatype.
{$node.data_map.briefing_area.content}
all this prints out on screen is array although there is only one value inside the selection.
does anyone have a idea how i can get the string value out of the datatype.
Thanks
Nicholas

Hi,
If you are can't do it, let ez do it in your place ;).
there are a magic template operator attribute_view_gui, you can use it with every attribute, specially with complex one, like your selection.
the syntax is :
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.briefing_area}
(for more information look at the template : /design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezselection.tpl, the operator template attribute_view_gui will use it to display attribute selection)
TKS.
