Working with "selection list" fields in structure / template

[Maese Theobald, módosítva 14 év-val korábban]

Hello

Please could you help me in order to get the value of a "selection list" field of a web content structure?

We have some fields of this type in a structure but when we are going to retrieve them in the template, with the getData() method, we get the name of the option, not the value and we'd need to get the "friendly string" we use in the list, not the internal value.

Thanks

We have exactly the same doubt.
Have you found a solution yet?
Thanks.

Hi,

Try .getOptions()

You can iterate through the list like so:

   
      Sample Multiple Selection List
      
        <b>
#foreach($selection in $sample-multi-selection-list.getOptions())
          $selection
          <br>
#end
        </b>

Hi Amos,

getOptions() is OK for multi-selection lists, but I detected the same issue as Theobald:
when using the (single) selection lists, the getData() method extracts the name of the option instead of the value. I tried with getOptions(), getType(), looping on getChildren() and so on...but didnt't manage to get the value.

Many thanks
Francesco

Hi,

I also confirm that getData() for a simple-selection-list return the name of the option and not the value (liferay version 6.0.5 CE).
It's seem related in the LPS-13737 issue.
I think the best will be to have access to key and value with a getKey() and getData() for exemple.

Your answer is about "multiple selection list" as it states in your example, and does not apply to the "selection list".
Could you help us with a solution for the "selection list" problem?

LUCA ,

I am sure you got your answer by now.but here is the solution for others who are searching.

#foreach($selection in $selection-list.getSiblings())
  $selection.Data
          <br>
#end
