nicholas king	Friday 24 September 2010 1:59:02 am 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.
