Hi,

Something simple i'm sure:

I have a listbox with input options label1==image1||label2==image2||label3==image3

I need it to show the labels in the resource template variables section so the would choose either label1, label2 or label3

and then output the relevant image name. At present it only outputs the label

<div class="tag2_ab"><img alt="" src="images/[[+tv.propertyStatus]].png" /></div>

How can i adapt this to output the value instead of the label?

thanks

you should allways get the value, not the label as output. The value is stored into the db, not the label.

Thanks but in the code i posted above i get

src="images/label1.png"

as opposed to

src="images/image1.png"

which is what i'm after????

did you have the input-options like that

label1==image1||label2==image2||label3==image3

from the beginning, or did you change them after having saved the resources?
definitiv, after saving a listbox-TV, the value (after '==') is the one, which is in the DB.

Interesting. I changed this after creating the TV. Do i need to create a new variable or edit in the DB somehow?

thanks

I've just checked the dbase and the value is correct for the template variable but its still outputting the label not the value???
