Hello,

I'm having issues with this peace of code, it has worked for me before but for reason it will not coorperate this time.

          @if (GetString("Item.AfdHellerup") == "True") {
          <strong>@i.GetValue("ItemPublisher:Item.AfdHellerup.Name")</strong>
          }

          @if (GetString("Item.AfdOdense") == "True") {
          <strong>@i.GetValue("ItemPublisher:Item.AfdOdense.Name")</strong>
          }

          @if (GetString("Item.AfdSkorping") == "True") {
          <strong>@i.GetValue("ItemPublisher:Item.AfdSkorping.Name")</strong>
          }

          @if (GetString("Item.AfdAarhus") == "True") {
          <strong>@i.GetValue("ItemPublisher:Item.AfdAarhus.Name")</strong>
          } 

          @if (GetString("Item.AfdMR_Aarhus") == "True") {
          <strong>@i.GetValue("ItemPublisher:Item.AfdMR_Aarhus.Name")</strong>
          }

          @if (GetString("Item.AfdViborg") == "True") {
          <strong>@i.GetValue("ItemPublisher:Item.AfdViborg.Name")</strong>
          }

It's a simple checkbox field type and I only want the ones that are checked to be shown.

Best wishes,

Roop

Hi Roop,

Have you tried to put @TemplateTags() to see what the value of those tags are? I believe you may need to get the .Value for that field.

Alternatively I'd use GetBoolean instead of GetString. That way you don't need to parse values into string to get a boolean comparision, Example

@if (GetBoolean("Item.AfdViborg.Value")) {
 
    <strong>@i.GetValue("ItemPublisher:Item.AfdViborg.Name")</strong>
}

Best Regards,

Hello Nuno,

The @TemplateTags() does'nt help, it won't show any of these values or tags.

The whole thing is part of a loop maybe that's the issue here?

I tried the GetBoolean you suggested, that didn't work either.

Is there anything else I can try or should I change the itemtype to a checkbox list instead? and use the foreach (loopitem...)

Best wishes,

Roop

Hi Roop,

If it's part of the loop, then that's the problem. You should have something like this

foreach( var field in GetLoop("Item.Fields") {

...

}

meaning your result needs to be

foreach( var field in GetLoop("Item.Fields") {

field.TemplateTags()

field.GetString(...)

}

(this is not actual code - validate it in your IDE)

Hello again,

I got it to work with a checklist instead.

I tried your way but I don't think I got it completely right, as I kept getting errors.

But it seems to work well with the checklist item field.

Best regards,

Roop
