How to call a SPECIFIC field value? was created by ComposerRyan

I was wondering, if I created a text field called "mytestfield" how would I go about calling that SPECIFIC field in my template?

I need to be able to do this for specific reasons...

Thanks for your help!

Did a quick search of these forums and found this...I haven't tried it, but will let you know if it works:

Hi,

You can call a field in your template with the code

Code: Select all
<?php echo $this->fields->display; ?>

And

Code: Select all
<?php echo $this->fields->label; ?>

for the label of the field if you want to display it.

I hope it's what you were looking for.

It appears to be working, however when grabbing an image it only grabs the medium sized thumbnail. Here is the code I am using to grab a SPECIFIC image field:

<?php echo $this->fields->display; ?>

I want to be able to tell it to grab either the large, medium, or small image. How can I do that? Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Here is a way to get the src of an image field in the file item.php of your template :

Code:

if (isset($this->fields['field_name']->value[0])) :
$dir   = $this->fields['field_name']->parameters->get('dir');
    $value  = unserialize($this->fields['field_name']->value[0]);
    $image   = $value['originalname'];
    
$src_small   = $dir.'/s_'.$image;
$src_medium = $dir.'/m_'.$image;
$src_large = $dir.'/l_'.$image;
    endif;

So you can call the image you want to display using

Code:
