Attribute problem after updating

Permalink
Hi,

I've made a template that uses a page attribute to show or hide a certain image or text.

After updating C5 to 5.4.1.1 this function isn't working anymore.

The attribute is a selection. There are three options, the content will change along with the selected option.

echo $c->getAttribute('my_handle_name');

The result is: 'option1'

But...
if ($c->getAttribute('my_handle_name') == 'option1') { echo 'text'; }

This doens't work! Apparently the if statement doesn't get the right value.
When I var_dump $c->getAttribute('my_handle_name') I get a full object with the value I need in it.

The code in the template worked fine, but after updating it's broken...

Does anyone have any idea?

Regards,

Corretje

Strange! I have themes doing the same thing and no problems ...

Have you tried grabbing a fresh instance of the current page object? (not that you should have to) I'm using:

$page = Page::getCurrentPage();
if($page->getAttribute("colour_swatch")) {
    $swatch = strtolower($page->getAttribute("colour_swatch"));
}

Thanks for the answer. Sadly creating a fresh instance isn't the solution....

I've noticed that the problem spreads through out the other instances to.

I've installed e-Commerce Addon and in the notification mails after ordering the attribute values of the products are also shown as "Object" instead of a real value. When I echo the value it works fine...

Anyone with the same issue?
