Hello

please backup or test in a copy site:
-- i don't think it should make a difference, but the new version also adds a "debug" parameter to report heritage order: it is in:

Component parameters/
/Content Display TAB/
/Category View Section/
/Parameters: Category Info & Options/
- Inherit parameters from
- Debug parameter heritage

FLEXIcontent v2.2.0 r1882 beta

-- 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?

Hello

there is no parameter heritage for clayout (it is a category parameter that does not have "use global"), where is it supposed to inherit from ?

from another category ?

Thank you, with

Code:

$cid = (int)JRequest::getVar('cid');
$cid = $cid ? $cid : $this->item->catid;
$category = JCategories::getInstance('Content')->get($cid);
echo '<pre>';print_r($category->getParams()->get('clayout'));echo '</pre>';

I've access to all parameters from the category the item belongs to. E.g. 'clayout' or any additional individual parameter e.g. 'show_comments_count'

For whatever reason I got the correct values with

Code:

echo '<pre>';print_r($this->item->params);echo '</pre>';

in PHP 5.3 but not in PHP 5.4

Hello

you are not supposed to get parameters like this:

...
$category = JCategories::getInstance('Content')->get($cid);
$category = ($category->getParams()->get('clayout'));

the above does not do ANY parameter heritage and if does it will not inherit from FLEXIcontent component (up to v2.1.2) or from parent categories (v2.2.0+) or from specific category (v2.1.3/v2.2.0)

instead use already calculated:

$this->params

in both category view and in item view
