I want to compare the current value of the select list text to let a field be displayed or not

if({|text_select_list_172|}[0]->data == '["0"]' ) {
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}

This code doesn't work. What is the correct code?

If I let the content show of the current select list text {|text_select_list_172|}[0]->data
with
echo({|text_select_list_172|}[0]->data);
I get ["0"]

Hello

in Joomla CCK as hint for work with Custom Field -> PHP, you need click at "field" settings There you will see mask for all fields wit style and without styles, This may help to you duplicate or show some field exactly as you need.

so next if you see some field mask: {|text_select_list_172|}

all what you need do , the write below code:


so you will can check this field inner data format. After you easy write IF condition

And please use "print_r" - this command help to you see DATA format, but "echo" move all data to "STRING" format
