Get field_type inside templates $field loop

Hi @ all!

I try display a file field inside a dropdown button. The problem is the translation neither opening and closing tag nor 3rd party falang allows the label translation. (because of html).

So I had another idea by putting a special template position which wraps file fields inside dropdowns (with label as dropdown text). But I fail to get the field_type inside the $field loop (just to exclude other field types).

Or maybe somebody has another solution. Thank you in advance!

Anybody can help me? You need more information?

Hello

you can post the code
i guess you are using
$item->positions as $field

but the above is not a full field it has only a few properties like
$field->label
$field->name
$field->display

It does not have
$field->field_type

you can try
$item->fields[$field->name]->field_type

Here's a post about extracting files:

www.flexicontent.org/forum/20-general-su...file-link.html#80726

I believe you can get the ext info from it.


​​​​​​​You can also get the language version in item.php.

So - if you want specific content to appear for English or other language that's possible as well.





Screenshots/Code would probably help.

 

Thank you for your contribution!
