THis may be a simple one, but can anyone tell me how to use the P&T Pill fieldtype?

My code is currently as follows:

{exp:channel:entries channel="testimonials"}
                                <div class="test-content">
                                    <div class="test-highlight">
                                        <h2>{quote_snippet}</h2>
<p>                                    </div><!-- /end #test-highlight --><br />
                                    {quote_complete}<br />
                                    {title}<br />
                                </div end><!-- /end #test-content --><br />
                                {/exp:channel:entries}

I’ve added a P&T Pill fieldtype (left-right-column) to the testimonials entries, that simply says Left Column or Right Column

What I’d like to do is display two lists (i.e. left and right column) and simply place something in the code on the left column to say only display testimonials entries with left column seleceted and vica versa for right column.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

P&T Pill just spits out the field’s selected value.  You could use said value as a CSS class(es), and something like this should do the trick…

Template:

<div class="{left-right-column}">Whatever you want to display on the right or the left.</div>

CSS:

.Left.Column{ float: right; }
.Right.Column{ float: left; }

Thanks Nick.

Does anyone know a way to display all entries with that class (i.e. left column) using an expression engine tag, or using PHP?

Something like ‘left-right-column =left column’, but in PHP?

Take a look at the search attribute.

We typically use a custom status in situations like this, rather than the value of a field.  That gives you a little more flexibilty in the control panel and with a few plugins.

Great, thanks Nick!
