You need to add content after the attribute name, the content will either return a single, an array or an object depending on the datatype. eZ user will return an eZUser object.

Try:
{$content_version.data_map.user_account.content.email}

You can use the attribute operator.
{$node|attribute(show)}
The show parameter tells it to show the attribute values. Remember that the operator will expand any array or objects attributes recursively (max at 10 by default) so you generally want to use |attribute(show,1) for if you just want to show content of one variable.

for equals you would write the above like

{section show=ne($node.node_id,21)}

See http://sdk.ez.no/sdk/eztemplate/view/operator_list/ for a full operator list

You should have a look through the documentation! ;)

Been there too (although not for this problem) point is that for the most basic template things there are a number of places to search. The demo-site, the sdk - common template issues. The sdk -eztemplate docu and the source. But. the source has a lot of files and finding the right file to check is a task in itself.

As i realize that this is an rc2 and not a final product I take it in good spirit, but trying to sort out how things are working is taking way to much time and is something that I hope will be addressed for the final version.

Actualy the organisation of the forum and bugpages are not very helpfull either as all ez3 is thrown in a pile and the bugs range from beta1 to rc2 with no easy way to filter all the old stuff or search only the current forum.
Creating a community around an open source product also means providing an environment in which the community can trieve and grow.

But then again, maybe I'm just spoiled by bugzilla, sorceforge and the kde supportsystems. At least ez3 feels like it's worth the efford to sort things out and get an headstart for when the final is here..

Anyhow, thanks for the pointers.

Like so many others I'm better in getting in to trouble than in writing down a decent way to solve things. But I might give writing a try one of these days. For now I'm still to much into the sorting out fase myself..

Thanks,
