News Fields Definitions - checkbox [Solved]

[drsceifers]

I think I understand how to use $entry->private to grab the value of the checkbox I have defined. I just can't find any documentation on how to address its content. Should I use isset() and what is the value if it is set/not set.

I am trying to use field I added to mark news as podcast/videocast, private, etc.

Thanks

Try something like this:

The checkbox was {if $entry->customfieldname eq '1'}checked{else}unchecked{/if}

or

The checkbox was {if $entry->customfieldname}checked{else}unchecked{/if}

No luck... I even tried just printing $entry->private (that was my field) and it doesn't see it.

In the summary template, I see this construct
{foreach from=$entry->fields item='field'}

Is my additional field part of this "field", If so, can I address an actual field by name?

if you did a {$entry|print_r} you'll see everything.

[kermit]

is the custom field itself "public" ?

It wasn't, that wa the problem, plus it was lower case. I think I knew that.
