About rendering display HTML of fields when using custom Layout in Universal module was created by iamrobert

Hi,

Sorry - poorly constructed plugin template. :dry:

[strike]I'm trying to render fields in mod_flexicontent. If I use news template - it renders ok.

However - all I want is the field.

So - if you take the default.php mod_flexicontent template and add the if use_fields - nothing renders:

Code:

<?php if ($use_fields_feat && @$item->fields && $fields_feat) : ?>
					<div class="fc_block fcitem_fields">
						
					<?php foreach ($item->fields as $k => $field) : ?>
						<?php if ( $hide_label_onempty_feat && !strlen($field->display) ) continue; ?>
						<div class="field_block field_<?php echo $k; ?>">
							<?php if ($display_label_feat) : ?>
							<div class="field_label"><?php echo $field->label . $text_after_label_feat; ?></div>
							<?php endif; ?>
							<div class="field_value"><?php echo $field->display; ?></div>
						</div>
					<?php endforeach; ?>
              <?php endif; ?>

Have tried copying the xml file and the php values - but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

I think I'll revert to:

Code:

<?php if (isset($item->_row->fieldvalues[15][0]) && ($item->_row->fieldvalues[15][0] != null)): ?>
<?php echo $item->_row->fieldvalues[15][0]; ?>
  <?php endif; ?>

I am using:
FLEXIcontent 3.1.0-dev

Cheers,

Robert[/strike]

Hello

for the fields HTML to be created you need to select the custom fields in "Select Fields" TAB
- which i guess you did

now if you don't need to create the HTML surely using:

Code:

$item->_row->fieldvalues

is faster

To manually create the HTML of field for an item use:

Code:

$field_html = FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($item->_row, 'fieldname');
echo $field_html;

[EDIT]
i have recently commit a fix, to allow loading custom XML file from Joomla template folder, besides loading the PHP file, which was already done,
also made some corrections here:

Thanks for the updated help!

I think the issue is - perhaps it requires the title of the article for the module to work:

Code:

$item->title;

as soon as I remove this the module disappears. I'll wrap it in invisible.

Code:

<?php // no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?>
<?php if (isset($list[$ord]['featured'])) : ?>
<!-- BOF featured items -->
<?php foreach ($list[$ord]['featured'] as $item) : ?>
<?php if ($use_fields_feat && @$item->fields && $fields_feat) : ?>
<?php foreach ($item->fields as $k => $field) : ?>
<?php if ( $hide_label_onempty_feat && !strlen($field->display) ) continue; ?>
<?php echo $field->display; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="invisible"><?php echo $item->title; ?></div>
<!-- EOF current item -->
<?php endforeach; ?>
<!-- EOF featured items -->
<?php endif; ?>
