Unversal module : use item->id was created by kursus

Hi there,

I'm trying to use items id in the universal menu, but I can't even echo it.

Despite

Code:

<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>

works fine in a standard template, it doesn't work in module templates, neither

Code:

<?php echo $item->id; ?>

Code:

<?php echo $item->id->display; ?>

nor all the combos I've tried.

Is there a way to do this ?

(Flexi 1.5.5)

Thanks a lot

Hi,

No lot of time to find an elegant way (without hacking module code)

For now, in mod_flexiocntent/helper.php, you can add :

Code:

$lists[$ord]['featured'][$i]->id 	= $row->id;

Before

Code:

$lists[$ord]['featured'][$i]->image 	= $thumb;

And

Code:

$lists[$ord]['standard'][$i]->id 	= $row->id;

Before

Code:

$lists[$ord]['standard'][$i]->image 	= $thumb;

Then call the item->id using

Code:

$item->id

But updating Flexicontent will erase the change...

May be it could be a new parameter of the module

Hey,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm gonna try this, however before this can you see an other way to target a specific item in the module ?

Thanks !!

I added it to current development truck, it will be in next beta version of v 1.5.6.

Also i want to note that if you are changing a template of Flexicontent Universal Module, it is better to duplicate it and the change it. Otherwise it will be overwritten when/if you upgrade to a later version.

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
