I have the following data definition:

<system-data-structure>
    <asset type="page" identifier="redirectpage" label="Redirect Page"/>
    <asset type="file" identifier="redirectfile" label="Redirect File"/>
    <text type="checkbox" identifier="openinnewwindow" label="Open in new
window?">
        <checkbox-item value="Yes"/>
    </text>
</system-data-structure>

The following format:

#set ($page = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($contentRoot, "/system-index-block/calling-page/system-page"))
#set ($data = $page.getChild("system-data-structure"))

#set ($redirect_page_url = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($data, "redirectpage").getChild("link").value)
#set ($redirect_file_url = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($data, "redirectfile").getChild("link").value)
#set ($open_in_new_window = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($data, "openinnewwindow").value)

#if($redirect_page_url.length() > 2)
    #set ($redirect_url = $redirect_page_url)
#elseif ($redirect_file_url.length() > 2)
    #set ($redirect_url = $redirect_file_url)
#end

#if($open_in_new_window == "Yes")
    <meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='0;URL=[system-asset]${redirect_url}[/system-asset]' target='_blank' />
#else
    <meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='0;URL=[system-asset]${redirect_url}[/system-asset]' />
#end

Whether I check the checkbox or not I always get the else option. What am
I missing?

Thanks
Bill

   Hi Bill,

   If you take a look at the XML that is generated by that Data Definition, you will notice there is an additional <value> element that holds the value of the checkbox.

   When you have a moment, try adjusting the line that sets $open_in_new_window to the following:

   #set ($open_in_new_window = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($data, "openinnewwindow/value").value)
   

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks!

   Ryan,

   Thanks. I accidentally deleted the value you pointed out. It didn't
   completely resolve the problem but I did get it resolved.

   Thanks for your help!
   Bill
