The ezmultioption datatype (Multi-option)

Class eZMultiOptionType in kernel/classes/datatypes/ezmultioption/ezmultioptiontype.php; identifier ezmultioption, listed in settings/content.ini [DataTypeSettings] AvailableDataTypes[].

What it stores

The columns of the attribute tables its class reads or writes: data_int, data_text, data_text1 (data_text, data_int, data_float and sort_key_* are the object attribute's; data_text1 ... data_int4 the class attribute's settings). Found by reading the class: a heuristic. It is indexed by the search.

In templates

my_attribute stands for the identifier of an attribute of this type in your class:

{def $attribute = $node.data_map.my_attribute}
{if $attribute.has_content}
    {attribute_view_gui attribute=$attribute}
{/if}
{* the value as the datatype returns it (objectAttributeContent()) *}
{$attribute.content|attribute( show, 1 )}

The shipped template that shows it (attribute_view_gui), design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezmultioption.tpl (first 25 lines):

{* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! Use an override template instead. *}
<div class="block">
<label>{'Option set name'|i18n( 'design/standard/content/datatype' )}:</label>
{$attribute.content.name|wash}
</div>

{section var=Multioptions loop=$attribute.content.multioption_list}
<div class="block">
<label>{$Multioptions.item.name|wash}:</label>
<select name="eZOption[{$attribute.id}][]">
    {section var=Option loop=$Multioptions.item.optionlist}
            {if ne( $Option.item.additional_price, '' )}
                {if eq( sum( $Option.index, 1 ), $Multioptions.item.default_option_id )}
                    <option value="{$Option.item.option_id|wash}" selected="selected">{$Option.item.value|wash}-{$Option.item.additional_price|l10n( currency )}</option>
                {else}
                    <option value="{$Option.item.option_id|wash}">{$Option.item.value|wash}-{$Option.item.additional_price|l10n( currency )}</option>
                {/if}
            {else}
                {if eq(sum($Option.index,1), $Multioptions.item.default_option_id)}
                    <option value="{$Option.item.option_id|wash}" selected="selected">{$Option.item.value|wash}</option>
                {else}
                    <option value="{$Option.item.option_id|wash}">{$Option.item.value|wash}</option>
                {/if}
            {/if}
        {/section}
