Espen R	Friday 06 January 2006 3:53:35 am What is the syntax to output the collected information from a specific field from a form into a feedback e-mail? I've seen the example on how to just loop through all the attributes but I need to lay out the e-mail in a special way so I need to access each individual attribute. Any assistance would be very appreciated since I am quite new to eZ.
Esteban Rodriguez	Friday 06 January 2006 7:25:11 am Hi Espen, You can access the collected information in the $collection.attributes array. To find exactly what attributes each element in this array has, you could use the following code {section name=Attribute loop=$collection.attributes} {$Attribute:item\|attribute(show)} {/section} in the template for the collectedinfomail (most probably in the override/templates/collectedinfomail dir of your site design). This will get you the list of attributes printed in the email you'll get from the information collector form. hope it helps, I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it. http://presencia.net
Espen R	Monday 16 January 2006 5:12:54 am Thanks. Being new to eZ and also not a coder, it was a bit hard to grasp at first. After a while I found out that you can use the syntax as in the following example: <b>{$collection.attributes[2].contentclass_attribute_name}:</b> {$collection.attributes[2].data_text\|wash}<br /> <b>{$collection.attributes[3].contentclass_attribute_name}:</b> {$collection.attributes[3].data_text\|wash}<br /> <b>{$collection.attributes[4].contentclass_attribute_name}:</b> {$collection.attributes[4].data_text\|wash}<br /> This will list the <b>attribute names</b> of attributes number 2, 3 and 4 (actually 3, 4 and 5 since the first is 0) and then the <b>attribute contents</b> of each. Maybe obvious to most people..

Hi Espen,

You can access the collected information in the $collection.attributes array.

To find exactly what attributes each element in this array has, you could use the following code

{section name=Attribute loop=$collection.attributes}
{$Attribute:item|attribute(show)}
{/section}

in the template for the collectedinfomail (most probably in the override/templates/collectedinfomail dir of your site design).

This will get you the list of attributes printed in the email you'll get from the information collector form.

hope it helps,

Thanks. Being new to eZ and also not a coder, it was a bit hard to grasp at first. After a while I found out that you can use the syntax as in the following example:

<b>{$collection.attributes[2].contentclass_attribute_name}:</b> {$collection.attributes[2].data_text|wash}<br />
<b>{$collection.attributes[3].contentclass_attribute_name}:</b> {$collection.attributes[3].data_text|wash}<br />
<b>{$collection.attributes[4].contentclass_attribute_name}:</b> {$collection.attributes[4].data_text|wash}<br />

This will list the <b>attribute names</b> of attributes number 2, 3 and 4 (actually 3, 4 and 5 since the first is 0) and then the <b>attribute contents</b> of each.

Maybe obvious to most people..
