Display field in blog item template was created by dmayak

This should be simple but I haven't found answer on forum - how to display additional fields in blog template(components/com_flexicontent/templates/blog/item.php)?
$this->item->fields and $this->fields both do not have a display property and I don't see any other field-related properties in $this...

here is my additional field, type - file

Code:

object(stdClass)#565 (22) {
  ["id"]=>
  string(2) "24"
  ["asset_id"]=>
  string(3) "148"
  ["field_type"]=>
  string(4) "file"
  ["name"]=>
  string(12) "pressrelfile"
  ["label"]=>
  string(32) "Файл пресс-релиза"
  ["description"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["isfilter"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["isadvfilter"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["iscore"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["issearch"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["isadvsearch"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["untranslatable"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["formhidden"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["valueseditable"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["edithelp"]=>
  string(1) "2"
  ["positions"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["published"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["attribs"]=>
  string(791) "{"display_label":"1","size":"30","required":"1","autoselect":"1","remove_space":"0","pretext":"","posttext":"","separatorf":"1","opentag":"","closetag":"","useicon":"1","display_filename":"2","display_descr":"0","usebutton":"2","buttontext":"\u0421\u043a\u0430\u0447\u0430\u0442\u044c","allowshare":"0","sharetext":"FLEXI_EMAIL_SHARE_LINK","noaccess_display":"1","noaccess_addvars":"0","noaccess_url_unlogged":"","noaccess_msg_unlogged":"","noaccess_url_logged":"","noaccess_msg_logged":"","display_filter_as_s":"1","use_downloads_manager":"0","send_notifications":"0","notification_tmpl":"%%FLEXI_FDN_FILE_NO%% __FILE_ID__:  [__FILE_TITLE__] \r\n %%FLEXI_FDN_FILE_IN_ITEM%% __ITEM_TITLE__: \r\n __ITEM_URL__","send_all_to_email":"","send_to_current_item_owner":"0","send_to_email_field":""}"
  ["checked_out"]=>
  string(3) "329"

Hello

use template layout editor to drag and drop fields into positions

- go to template backend tab and click to edit the desired layout of blog template,
blog template has both category layout and item layout

if you want to place it manually inside your template
by doing

Code:

echo $item->fields['fieldname']->display;

TO BE ABLE TO USE THE ABOVE:

1. EITHER add field to template position 'render_only' or call function getFieldDisplay to create the HTML display of the field:

www.flexicontent.org/component/f ... ?Itemid=28

Code:

FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($item, 'fieldname');

2. OR create it manually inside the template:

Code:

FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($item, 'fieldname', null, 'display');

-- To get other custom variable inside your template e.g 'display_small' use:

Code:

FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($item, 'fieldname', null, 'display_small');

-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
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?

Thank you very much for the detailed reply, this field will be wrapped in several additional elements, so I have to put it manually.

Code:

FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($item, 'fieldname');

works well, although for blog template $item needs to be declared earlier as

Code:

$item=$this->item

or use

Code:

FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($this->item, 'fieldname');
