Conditional loop in Universal Module was created by Tomoe

Hi,
I have to do something a little special : to replace article opening by direct external link on some articles. So, I made a special template and changed the category view with :

Code:

<?php if (isset($item->positions['link'])) : ?>
		<?php foreach ($item->positions['link'] as $field) : ?>
	     <h2 class="contentheading"><span class="fc_item_title"><?php echo $field->display; ?></h2></span>
	     <?php endforeach; ?>
	     <?php else : ?>
	     <h2 class="contentheading"><span class="fc_item_title">
	     	<a class="fc_item_title" href="<?php echo JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($item->slug, $item->categoryslug)); ?>"><?php echo $item->title; ?>
	     </span></h2>
	<?php endif; ?>

It works nice, thanks to FlexiContent incredible flexibility. But now, I have to do the same thing for module. Module displays the category, and I've set in Item List: Displaying of Fields & Other item information -- (Used by Some Layouts e.g. news) > Fields parameters to "Yes" and selected the field "weblink". But I'm unable to go further and to insert a conditional loop saying that if there is something in this field, it shows the field and if not, it show the title. Thanks for any help.

Hello

in v2.2.0 you can use this for custom fields configured to be displayed:

(inside the template file)
mod_flexicontent/tmpl/mytemplate.php

Code:

if ( !empty ($item->fields[ 'myfieldname' ]->value) ) {
  echo 'myfieldname has values:';
  print_r($item->fields[ 'myfieldname' ]->value);
}

V2.2.0 ? I assumed last version of FlexiContent is v2.1.3 r1857 (the one installed on my site, the last one on download section and not even on SVN). Where is this v2.2.0 version ?
Unfortunately, the code you gave doesn't work in v2.1.3 r1857.

Hello

maybe you do not need the raw field values

try:

if (!empty ($item->fields[ 'myfieldname' ]->display) )

or

if (!empty ($item->fields[ 'myfieldname' ]) )

Thanks ggppdk! Great! For whose who might be interested, code is

Code:

<div class="fc_block" >
						<div class="fc_inline_block fcitem_title">
					<?php if (!empty ($item->fields[ 'weblink' ]->display)) : ?>
					  <?php echo $item->fields[ 'weblink' ]->display; ?>
					  <?php else : ?>
					  [url=<?php echo $item->link; ?>]<?php echo $item->title; ?>[/url]
					<?php endif; ?>
					  </div>
					  </div>

And, of course, comment (or erase) $display_title and $use_fields.
