Andreas Kaiser	Monday 30 October 2006 2:26:06 am I'm creating my first templates in eZ Publish. One is a dynamic menu and when I use the code: {$:item.name} to call the name of the item, the short name (instead of the long name of the item) is used. How should I call the long name of the item? eZ Partner in Madrid (Spain) Web: http://www.atela.net/
Mark Marsiglio	Monday 30 October 2006 4:27:32 am The short name is a special node "name" that is set as the identifier of the node. The long name is usually a different attribute (most commonly a text line) that has to be called as an attribute. I usually use something like: {$node.object.data_map.name.content\|wash()} where "name" is the name of the attribute that contains the long name. http://www.thinkcreative.com Turning Ideas Into Strategic Solutions

I'm creating my first templates in eZ Publish. One is a dynamic menu and when I use the code:

{$:item.name}

to call the name of the item, the short name (instead of the long name of the item) is used.

How should I call the long name of the item?

The short name is a special node "name" that is set as the identifier of the node.

The long name is usually a different attribute (most commonly a text line) that has to be called as an attribute.

I usually use something like:

{$node.object.data_map.name.content|wash()}

where "name" is the name of the attribute that contains the long name.
