I cannot find this value anywhere under data_map!! {$node.0.data_map.myoptionlist.content} i.e seems to contain the index within the option list, I can't find it's 'real' value though! Any clues? thanks! t

Thomas Brandl	Thursday 25 September 2003 4:34:29 am Well, that's another problem I have. {$:item\|attribute(show)} works but when I try to list any other objects/arrays below that, I get a blank site or a timeout: {$:item.data_map\|attribute(show)} -> blank site {$:item.object\|attribute(show)} -> timeout BUT: I found it. Using {attribute_view_gui} made it! I was trying to access it with {$node.data_map.myoptionlist.xy}, which works for most datatypes, but not for selection! Thanks Paul! t
Paul Forsyth	Thursday 25 September 2003 4:41:53 am I often find i resort to looking at the ez templates to see how they do it :) Look at this: design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezselection.tpl This is the code used when {attribute_view_gui} is called. Paul
Thomas Brandl	Thursday 25 September 2003 8:53:29 am Yep, that I did, thinking "how the hell are they doing it" before I stopped realizing "shouldn't attribute_view_gui display just that ver template!? Yes, it should! Too much computer work makes one so narrow-minded...
