Using FLEXIcontent in the Frontend Template was created by iamrobert

Hi,

In the main Front End template - not flexicontent - I want to append the body tag. I want to add a class:

Code:

<body class="hideflexi">

- if my field "show description" is set to "no"

Now - I know I can do this in item:

Code:

<?php if (($this->item->fields['showdesc']->display) == "No"):?>hideflexi<?php endif;?>

Is there anyway to do this in the site templates?

Thanks,

Robert

Hello

so you want to get the item inside e.g. Joomla template code,

-- see this FAQ article:
Retrieving the HTML DISPLAY of FC fields inside 3rd-party code

if current view is item view
note
- DB queries will only be redone once
- use

Code:

$itemid= JRequest::getInt('id')

to get the item ID

Also note taht you do not need to create the field 's HTML display... just after

Code:

$item = $itemmodel->getItem(..);

do:

Code:

if (isset($item->fieldvalues[56]))   //  56 is the id of your field
  print_r($item->fieldvalues[56]);
else
 echo "field has no value";

see more about the above here:
Using the raw value of a field inside a template file or inside a new custom field type

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?
