Get file.php and file.xml from this build

... I can't tame the beast ...

I probably tried every possible combination but the description is not showing up at all. The only thing I get is sometimes a tooltip displaying the path to the file on the server.

... oh, I was some seconds too late.

With the new build the front end says:

Error
Could not find class: in file: C:\Users\jordy\Documents\xampp\htdocs\weiss-robotics\plugins\flexicontent_fields\file\file.php
Please correct field name

or

Did you take the J1.5 version files by mistake?

Get the v2.x

Hello, can you tell how to get a description, title or filename separately inside the template? FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay gives already composed html string, but I need to display files list in a table-like structure so I need to get it separately.

Hello

no need to re-query DB (and waste CPU), the raw field values are already retrieved via a single SQL query and available in each item as:

$item->fieldvalues[ field_id ]

Please see our FAQ article:
Using the raw value of a field inside a template file
