Re: [themes] conditional output based on value of CCK field

Hi Mark,

i'd suggest that you install Content Template (contemplate) module, and Developer Module. These will help you to discover the way to reference the fields you need. For example, you will probably need to examine

$node->field_news_type[0]['value']

or something to that effect.

Also, php.net is a good source of information for basic PHP syntax.

Using these resources, you'll find your code probably looks something like this:

switch ($node->field_news_type[0]['value'] == 'Retail Week Teaser') { case 'Teaser Article': // do something break; case 'Editorial': // do something else break; case 'Full News Article': // handle this case break; }

Hope this sets you off in the right direction.

Good luck, Djun

I've got a CCK content type using a field called 'field_news_type'

I'm looking to conditionally output some code based on the value of the CCK field. The Field has a possible 3 values: Editorial Full News Article Teaser Article

I need to do something like:

if $field_news_type = Retail Week Teaser { //dothis }

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks Mark
