Relation field in category workaround?

Is there a chance to have this variable in some of the next releases?
If not, can you please tell me how to check if the item is expired in the template?

Hello,

I followed your process:

1. I created a Relation field
2. I used a duplicated template and add my relation field into position renderonly
3. I edited category_items.php in my duplicate template folder and place at appropriate place:
Problem, nothing change.
To test, I also try to add only text after title without success.
If I add a field in my duplicate template via the administrator site, it works and I see it on my site but when I change the code, it's like I change the wrong file.

Do you have an idea ?

Hello

-- yes, there is a problem with the above code,
the expression always evaluate to true,
due to JText string being always non-empty

... a set of () parenthesis is needed, i have corrected the code above, it must be like this (notice that i added the parenthesis):

Thanks for your quick reply and for the code.

My problem is when I add code in category_items.php, nothing happens.
I configure my category to use this duplicate template.
When I drag and drop a field under my duplicate template in administrator site, I can see the result on my site.
I also try to add a simple text after title without success.

Seems like category_items.php in the folder of my duplicate template is not used.

Any idea ?

Hello

1. either you edited wrong template

2. or you should have edited category_items_html5.php instead of category_items.php because you set to use HTML5 in template parameters ...

3. you placed it in a place that it is not executed
e.g. you have duplicated blog template
which has 2 loop
LEADING items (1 item per row)
and
standard items (2,3,4 items per row)
... and you placed code inside leading loop
but you are only displaying standard items

Regards

Super !
It was the 3rd solution.

Many thanks one more time.
