Ritu,

This is what I'm using:

{$node.object.data_map.country.content.value[$node.object.data_map.country.data_text].name}

Here is the code I am using:

<div class="content-view-line">
    <div class="class-user float-break">

    <h2><a href={$node.url_alias|ezurl}>{$node.data_map.first_name.content|wash} {$node.data_map.last_name.content|wash}</a></h2>
    {section show=$node.data_map.image.has_content}
        <div class="attribute-image">
            {attribute_view_gui image_class=articlethumbnail href=$node.url_alias|ezurl attribute=$node.data_map.image}
        </div>
    {/section}
    {$node.object.data_map.country.content.value[$node.object.data_map.country.data_text].name} 
    {$node.data_map.country.content.name.value} 
    {$node.data_map.add_work.content|wash}<br>
    {$node.data_map.country.content|wash}<br>
    $node.data_map.country.content: ({$node.data_map.user_country.content}) <br>
    $node.data_map.country.content|wash: ({$node.data_map.user_country.content|wash})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.name.content: ({$node.data_map.user_country.name.content})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.name.content|wash: ({$node.data_map.user_country.name.content|wash})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.name: ({$node.data_map.user_country.name})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.name|wash: ({$node.data_map.user_country.name|wash})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.name: ({$node.data_map.user_country.countryname})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.name|wash: ({$node.data_map.user_country.countryname|wash})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.name: ({$node.data_map.user_country.content.value})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.name: ({$node.data_map.user_country.content.value|wash})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.name: ({$node.data_map.user_country.name.value})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.name: ({$node.data_map.user_country.name.value|wash})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.name: ({$node.data_map.user_country.name.content})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.name: ({$node.data_map.user_country.name.content|wash})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.value: ({$node.data_map.user_country.value})<br>
    $node.data_map.country.value|wash: ({$node.data_map.user_country.value|wash})<br>

    {section show=$node.data_map.intro.content.is_empty|not}
    <div class="attribute-short">
        {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.intro}
    </div>
    {/section}

    </div>
</div>

You can see different options I've tried. What am I missing?

I tried the debug system, it doesn't complaint anything.

Thanks for attribute filter. I used {$node.data_map.country|attribute(show,3)} and saw upto 3 levels. I could troubleshoot the problem to some extent but still stuck with it.

Now, I see the string value in data_text as 'CA' which indicates it should map to Canada. And if I try to display the country name using the direct array index CA, it works e.g. {$node.data_map.country.content.value[CA].Name}, works fine for those whose country is Canada (obviously). And {$node.data_map.country.data_text} displays CA correctly.

But {$node.object.data_map.country.content.value[$node.object.data_map.country.data_text].name} returns blank.

Is it because data_text is string? If so, can it be converted to the array index. (Not sure why getting a country name seems so comlicated.

>>Did you try what I posted in my last message: >>{$node.data_map.country.content.value[$node.data_map.country.data_text].name}?

<b>I tried this but it didn't work either. It returns a blank line. I am using Ver 4.0. Could it be the changes in the structure of country datatype?</b>
The following worked for me:
{def $country=fetch( 'content', 'country_list', hash( 'filter', 'Alpha2', 'value', $node.object.data_map.country.data_text) )}
{$country.Name}

>>As for the date question, have you tried attribute_view_gui (http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/techn...e/template_functions/visualization)?
No, I haven't tried that.
Again, the {$node.data_map.bday|attribute(show,2)} was very helpful and I used the following to display Birthday date:
Birthday (dd-mm): {$node.data_map.bday.content.day} - {$node.data_map.bday.content.month} ({$node.data_map.bday.content.zodiac_name})

I am still working on refining it to display month in words instead of number.

Thanks for all your help!!
