How to display a field in a module template? was created by grabit

I need to display a field in a A tag around my item the href of the link is in a field called "slideshow-link".

As I have also other custom fields displayed elsewhere, I planned to write the link directly in the template but it is not rendering.

I used that method:

Code:

<?php
     $myfield_html = FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($item, 'slideshow-link');
 echo '<a class="uk-cover-container uk-transition-toggle uk-display-block uk-link-reset" tabindex="0" href="' .  $item->fields['slideshow-link']->display .'">'; ?>

The answer for the href is /

Any idea why it is not working?

That is what I did. As I need to display other fields I use already that part. My need is to have a link around the item that’s why I did my template like that. My concern is that I followed the tutorial of ggppdk and it is not working. ( www.flexicontent.org/documentation/tutor...to-work-in-v156.html )

Hello

your code for creating field's HTML display looks proper

add this to your template to make sure that the field has values

Code:

print_r($item->fieldvalues[57]);

replace 57 with your field id
- does it show any values ?

Also test this

Code:

print_r($item->fields['slideshow-link']->label);

- does it show field label ?
