Use RPE variable to get Object Attribute in Publishing Engine Template?

Hello!

I have a variable in the Rational Publishing Template, that contains the object attribute "myAttribute".

Is there a possibility to print out obj."myAttribute" in a Text Box? Normally i drag the Object Attributes to the text field.

But that only works with fix names.

With best regards,

Have you tried something like 

string my_attribute = "object text"
Object o = current
print o.my_attribute "\n"
// or
print probeAttr_(o, my_attribute) "\n"

??

Hi pommCannelle,

we are using the Rational Publishing Engine v.1.1.1.2 for publishing our documents, and i have a dynamic variable "selectedVariant" in the context of the template available, that i even can print out to the document.

"string selectedVariant" contains the Attribute Name, that should be printed out to the document

In the Module.Object Container Loop

    for (Module.Objects.Attribute.name=selectedVariant)

             i print out: Module.Objects.Attribute._value

That works!

But now the problem:

I have to filter the objects Module.Objects.Attribute._value=="draft" or Module.Objects.Attribute._value=="approval" when Module.Objects.Attribute.name==selectedVariant (i.e. selectedVariant=="Product Variant 1")

I cannot get access to Module.Objects.Attribute._value in conditions.

How can i do this? I already saw a RPE 1.2. tutorial about adding custom attributes to a template, but i cannot make it because it seems to be different to RPE 1.1.1.2
