Hi!
I have the same problem that was posted in this thread. I've followed the steps but for some reason it didn't work.

I think that maybe it has something to do with the version of the Flexi Content, considering that this solution was posted two years ago and that I upgraded mine to 1.5.6 RC9b r1576. Thus, I didn't find BOF fields portion in category_items.php file. Instead of putting the code there, I've pasted it in the portion related to the position of the template.

Tks in advance, I hope you can help me.

There could be difference with the template
e.g. for blog template in file category_items.php , you should use (inside the item loop):
$items[$i] instead of $item

also put :

Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',1);

also while testing, place in top of the file (category_items.php), to print warnings of any not defined variables

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hi again!
Sorry for bothering. I've tried your previous solution, but for some reason it didn't work.

I've modified the code taking in account your advice and replacing each $item by $items[$i]:

Code:

<?php foreach ($columns as $name => $label) : ?>

<?php
foreach($items[$i]->cats as $cat) {
  if ($cat->id == $items[$i]->catid) {
    $link = JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($cat->slug));
    $items[$i]->positions['table']->{'categories'}->display = "<a href='$link'>".$cat->title."";
    break;
  }
}
?>

Tks again.
