Page Title was created by openg

Hi There,

I am trying to display the page title dynamically in multiple posts using a third party PHP module that loads code into a flexicontent item.

I am using this code <?php $doc =& JFactory::getDocument(); echo '' . $doc->getTitle(); ?> which normally returns the page title, yet in this case it displays the category that the item is in rather than the page title itself.

What code would I have to use to display the page title and not the category within the item.

Many kind regards,

Dominic

The following code will work with flexicontent v1.5.6

You can use it anywhere, inside some component, module or plugin

Code:

if (JRequest::getVar('option')=='com_flexicontent' && JRequest::getVar('view')=='items' ){
	JTable::addIncludePath(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'tables');
	require_once("components/com_flexicontent/classes/flexicontent.fields.php");
	require_once("components/com_flexicontent/classes/flexicontent.helper.php");
	require_once("components/com_flexicontent/models/items.php");
	
	// Get current displayed Flexicontent item
	$itemmodel = new FlexicontentModelItems();
	$item = $itemmodel->getItem();
	FlexicontentFields::getFields(array(&$item));
	
	// Get html of fields
	$title = FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($item, 'title');
	$voting = FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($item, 'voting');
	$hits = FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($item, 'hits');
	$created_by = FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($item, 'created_by');
	
	// $title has the title you need
	echo $title;
}

Thanks for the reply.
However I can't get the title to appear, is there something else I should add?

Corrected the above code, i had missed a letter J infront of Table::, and also removed & in the function calls.

NOTE: it will work with v1.5.6

Same code can be used to enhance and other components e.g. com_search ... search for a relevant post here
