geting fields values of a related item

Hi,

I have two item typs: course and course_type
I create a related item in course which is poining to an item of a course_type type.
I am trying to get the value of fields stored in a (specific) item of the course_type in my custom code.
How I am doing it?
Thanks, Yair

juste use {{fieldname}}

Thanks...
I am sorry but I don't understand.
I have in my code the following:
$courseType = $item->_row->fields;

now I want to get the '$courseTypeItem' from the related (reference) field and I don't understand how I am doing it....
Unless... I have to define the relation field for each field I want to get?

OK - I understand how to construct the "display" of a related field.
My issue is that with this solution I cannot sperate the diffrent fields of the related items...
I can think on a solution that the display will be stored in a JSON structure and will be convert to PHP variables in the template code.
Any other idea?

Hello

JSON output exists for category view only,
it allows retrieving all the allowed (by ACCESS Level) fields for current user

&format=json

Hello

also see out FAQ for loading an item in custom code

www.flexicontent.org/documentation/faq/7...-in-custom-code.html

So
1. you can load an item in custom code
2. examine the value of the item for the relation field and find the IDs
3. then get all related items

Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly.
What I did, and it works, is:
In the field definition, under the HTML attribute I put the following:
{"text":"{{text}}", "subtitle":"{{sub_title}}", "short":"{{short_desc}}"}
and it works. I have to do somting in my retrieving code before decode it to JSON with the newline BUT that manipulation is easy.

For the item data retrieving - I saw the FAQ you mention BUT could not understand from a print_r($item) of the specific item what its original ID
