Hi Paul, Have set up a checkbox field called travel for the suggestlink.tpl, when setting the field up in admin have tried it with a value in and also without to see if that was the problem On the details page I have tried this <div class="details"><span class="labels"> <IF>{LINKCHECKED[LINKTRAVEL]}</IF>Travel: YES CAN TRAVEL</span> </div> And this <IF {LINKCHECKED[LINKTRAVEL]}><div class="details"><span class="labels">Travel: YES CAN TRAVEL</span> </div></IF> What I am trying to do is if the checkbox has been checked on submission is to display something like this - Travel: Yes can travel - on the details.tpl Clearly I am doing something wrong as I can get dropdown list selections to display without problem What am I doing wrong? Thanks Mel Edited by mel on 03/10/07 - 05:09 PM

Problem sorted, Instead of putting <IF {LINKCHECKED}[LINKTRAVEL]> etc etc </IF> I put <IF {LINKCHECKED}[travel]> etc etc </IF> and it worked ok Paul - as you have probably guessed by now I have a very limited knowledge of PHP is the [ open closed brackets ] a function of PHP or something you have coded for WSN I know the {} is used in PHP - always keen to learn something new Just begining to realize how useful the IF Else statements can be Reckon it's about time I got myself a decent beginners book on PHP Mel:)

It's not PHP, it's just my syntax for passing things to template functions. I know the {} is used in PHP PHP's in-build templating mechanism uses {$variablename}, but that's actually just incidental. WSN Links can tie into custom PHP functions with template functions though.
