Code:

require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS."components/com_flexicontent/models/items.php");
        require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS."components/com_flexicontent/controllers/items.php");

$c = new FlexiContentControllerItems();
$itemmodel = $c->getModel('item');

This code works fine.
Now I'll try to integrate it with templates, thank you for help.

Strange... I want to display selected item with template, but get an error:

Code:

$itemmodel = $c->getModel('item');
$item = $itemmodel->getItem($itemId, $check_view_access=false);
$items = array(&$item);
FlexicontentFields::getFields($items);      require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS."components/com_flexicontent/models/itemelement.php");
$view = new FlexicontentViewItem();
$view->setModel($itemmodel);
print_r($view->display()); die;

$view->display
raises
Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /joomla-path/components/com_flexicontent/views/item/view.html.php on line 68

it seems getModel() returns null even I have set it before.

Could you explain what am I doing wrong?

Do not try to render the item yet, since i have not tested or verified what is needed to do it,

they way it is done in category view (view.html.php)
(to render the item view of an item)
is to capture PHP output via ob_start() etc

if you want to try this you are on your own, we can not test this now,

plus consider that loading item.css from different template layouts may cause problems

Try this,
it works, but some changes to it to make it independent have not been tested, it may need corrections:

Ok i have decided to add a function
renderItem in class flexicontent_html:

you can use like:

Code:

require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components/com_flexicontent/defineconstants.php');
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/".FLEXI_ITEMVIEW.".php");
 
$itemid = 471;
$flexi_html_helper = new flexicontent_html();
$item_html = $flexi_html_helper->renderItem($itemid);
echo $item_html;
