Hello all again.
I still haven't found a solution and i bet most of the readers here have been laughing at my n00bish question.

I'll explain better what i am trying to do:
I need to have the choice to display or not the financial details on a per object basis.
Since ME doesn't give this option i decided to use on of the attributes to set this choice. I easily moved and renamed this attribute in the administrative area, so that it says it is a switch for this task.
The real problem is that i can manage to access that attribute from the details.php in order to use it as a trigger for the financial info to display or not.

Can anyone help me or explain me how can i access this attribute's value from there?

this is a draft of what ideally should look like:

Code:

<?php if $this->dsl = 1 { ?> <!-- ************* show financial information *************************** --> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4"> <tr> <th class="sectiontableentry2"><?php echo _EA_OBJ_PRICES;?> <?php echo $this->mortgagecalc;?></th> </tr> <tr> <td> <?php echo $this->financial; ?> </td> </tr> <table> <?php } ?>

Thanks to anyone that will help me. Cheers, Simone
