[TYPO3] Problem Rendering a Choice type field

[Brian Lynch]

I have created a few extra fields for the fe_user table with the 
extension kickstarter.

Everything is working fine exept:


rendering a choice field in front end with COA

One of my extension fields is a choice field (choose from a list of 
choices).  It displays fine when 
creating a new account or when maintaining the accunt info with 
Login/Logout and fe_userreigistration plug in, and it display fine in the 
backend.

I have a custom page where certain users are listed and I created the 
listing with a COA object and typoscript queries the fe_user table.

In my COA here is the typo script lines for this choice field:

71=TEXT
71.data=LL:EXT:blrtdevkey/locallang_db.xml:fe_users.tx_blrtdevkey_pricona
ct
71.if.isTrue.field = tx_blrtdevkey_pricontact
71.wrap = <h3>Primary Contact Method:</h3><p> | </p>

All I get is the lable of the field, if I add .I to the field the results 
are blank.

if I substatute the field eg.

71.field = tx_blrtdevkey_pricontact

I get the intiger stored in the field e.g. 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 ect.

how can I render the field with the proper text lable of the choice value 
stored in the database?  The choice information is stored in the 
locallang_db.xml file for the extension, but I don't know how to tell COA 
to parse the text info and render it as the data for the COA query.

Any help is appreated, even a document referance, I have three Typo3 
books and willing to read anything in english.

Thank You,
