How to get item ID as global variable? was created by lipatovroman

Hi!
As you know, FlexiContent does not give us flexible tools for Image Galleries.
Existing galleries are poor.

Image Gallery field does not have option to sort images in different folders feature .

So, we need to solve problems in other ways.

I found not bad free image slider gallery , that displays images from folder.

I use module version, because I don't understand how to use plugin.

My idea:

1. Create 1 module and place it in FC item template using Modules Anywhere plugin.
2. Edit module image slider gallery code to get current item ID (because images placed in folders with title=ID of item).
3. Check, if images in folder item_ID_field_id have prefix = l_ - it means, that it's large image.

So, how do I get current FC item ID in other Joomla extensions.

Thanks.

hello did you search on faq ?
exemple
www.flexicontent.org/documentation/faq/7...-3rd-party-code.html

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

This article explain how to get fields values.
I need only get item ID of current item.

I added code:

Code:

require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components/com_flexicontent/defineconstants.php');
JTable::addIncludePath(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'tables');
require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS."components/com_flexicontent/classes/flexicontent.fields.php");
require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS."components/com_flexicontent/classes/flexicontent.helper.php");
require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS."components/com_flexicontent/helpers/permission.php");
require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS."components/com_content/helpers/route.php");
require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS."components/com_flexicontent/helpers/route.php");
require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS."components/com_flexicontent/models/".FLEXI_ITEMVIEW.".php");
$item_arr = array(445,567);  // myfunction_to_get_item_ids;
$itemmodel_name = FLEXI_J16GE ? 'FlexicontentModelItem' : 'FlexicontentModelItems';
$itemmodel = new $itemmodel_name();

$fcid = $item_id; // Trying to get ID

But $fcid is empty...

I also tried

Code:

$fcid = $item->id;

Does nor work...

Ok, this code works.

Code:

//include constants file
$db = & JFactory::getDBO();
// Set a different item id if you don't want the current item ...
$fcitem_id= JRequest::getInt('id',0);
$fccat_id= JRequest::getInt('cid',0);
$view= JRequest::getVar('view');
if ($view!='items' && $view!='item' && $view!='article') {
   return "not in items view";
}
 
// RETRIEVE item data
if ($fcitem_id) {
   $query = 'SELECT c.*'
      .' FROM '.'#'.'__content AS c '
      .' WHERE c.id = ' . $fcitem_id;
 
   $db->setQuery($query);
   $itemdata = $db->loadObject();
   $item_id = $itemdata->id;
}

I don't know is it correct, but it works...

Hello

yes use 'id' and 'cid'
but JRequest will be removed in J4.0

Code:

$fcitem_id= JRequest::getInt('id',0);
$fccat_id= JRequest::getInt('cid',0);

so instead use:

Code:

$app  = JFactory::getApplication();
$jinput = $app->input;

$fcitem_id= $jinput->get('id', 0, 'INT');
$fccat_id= $jinput->get('cid', 0, 'INT');

Hello

please see my previous answer

also when we move the image-gallery field display to layout files like the other fields
it would be simpler to do this
