Hi, a newbie question, sorry if this has been answered already.

Is there a way to retrieve a custom field raw value (not display) in a UM custom layout ?

I'm trying to build a layout in which each item's appearance varies according to custom fields...

Hello

maybe this is a useful change:

try this (and we will commit this for v2.2.0 so that this will not be a "hack"):
edit file:
modules/mod_flexicontent/helper.php

Replace:

$lists[$ord][$i] = new stdClass();

with:
Code:
$lists[$ord]['featured'][$i] = $row;

Replace:
$lists[$ord][$i] = new stdClass();
with:
$lists[$ord][$i] = $row;

then inside the template of mod_flexicontent use:
$item->fieldvalues[_field_id_]
(the field id is e.g. 54 , the id of the field) see here:

Using the raw value of a field inside a template file or inside a new custom field type

Test and we will commit this for v2.2.0, please do not apply any other "hacks" to the helper.php file

Regards

Hello, it works just fine, thanks a lot.

Of course now you can't access the fields class any more, but I guess you can't have it all :)

Hello

then UNDO previous change and do this:

Replace:
Code:
$lists[$ord]['featured'][$i] = new stdClass();
with:
Code:
$lists[$ord]['featured'][$i] = new stdClass(); $lists[$ord]['featured'][$i]->_row = $row;

Replace:
Code:
$lists[$ord]['standard'][$i] = new stdClass();
with:
Code:
$lists[$ord]['standard'][$i] = new stdClass(); $lists[$ord]['standard'][$i]->_row = $row;


and inside the template use:
$item->_row->fieldvalues[$field_id] ...

It works fine as well. However not for image fields (haven't tested with module fields yet).

Anyway, this isn't a problem at least for me as your first answer provided me with a solution!
