Hi,

You can call a field in your template with the code

Code:

<?php echo $this->fields['field_name']->display; ?>

And

Code:

<?php echo $this->fields['field_name']->label; ?>

for the label of the field if you want to display it.

I hope it's what you were looking for.

Regards

Hello!

This works for the "item" template, but doesn't opperate on the "category_item" view. I just see nothing, except my empty divs and spans...

How can we call specific fields on the category view?

I started with the "default" template, but I should have my html instead of a table.

This is the code I want inside the loop (for each displayed item on the category page):

Code:

<!-- BEGIN: offer item -->
<div class="offer_article">
<?php if (isset($this->item->positions['offer_article_tag'])) : ?>
<!-- BEGIN: offer_article_tag group -->
 <div class="offer_article_tag">
  <p class="offer_percent"><?php echo $this->item->fields['alkoffer_reduction']->display; ?>%</p>
  <p class="offer_subtext"><?php echo $this->item->fields['alkoffer_subtext']->display; ?></p>
 </div>
<!-- END: offer_article_tag group -->
<?php endif; ?>


<!-- BEGIN: offer_article_details group -->
 <div class="offer_article_details">
  <h3 class="offer_month"><span class="month_up"><?php echo $this->item->fields['alkoffer_month']->display; ?></span> - offre no. <?php echo $this->fields['title']->display; ?></h3>
  <h4 class="offer_type"><?php echo $this->item->fields['text']->display; ?></h3>
  <h5 class="offer_date"><?php echo $this->fields['alkoffer_date']->display; ?></h4>
   <p class="offer_prices"><span class="offer_price_01">CHF <?php echo $this->fields['alkoffer_price_chf']->display; ?>.-</span></p>
   <p class="offer_reservation">Réservation au <span class="tel">t</span> 000 00 00 00</p>
 </div>
<!-- END: offer_article_details group -->
</div>
<div class="clr"></div>
<!-- END: offer item -->

This code is between:

Code:

<?php foreach ($this->items as $item) : ?>

and

Code:

<?php endforeach; ?>

As you can see, I'm calling fields, because people can only insert specific content in specific fields. And each field as a specific css.

Thank you VERY much!

Hi,

Try to use

Code:

$item->...

instead of

Code:

$this->item->...

in the loop.

Hi I am trying the same thing, but it is not working.

I basically wish on the category page to display a thumbnail (which is linked) an artist name and a date - both from custom fields, the code I am using is:

Code:

[url=<?php echo JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($item->slug, $this->category->slug)); ?>]<?php echo $this->escape($item->field['thumbnail']); ?>[/url]
                <h1><?php echo $this->field['artist_name']->display; ?></h1>
                 <h2><?php echo $this->field['artist_date']->display; ?></h2>

Please bera with me as i am new to flexicontent and custom templating.

Cheers

Steve
