Hi there,

I am trying to create my first flexicontent custom template :)

I created the positions in the item.xml file.
Code:
<group posrow="img_top">second-image</group> <group posrow="img_top">second-top</group>

i can see these positions inside the template. I assinged fields to these positions but I am unable to see these fields at the moment. Could you please let me know what I am missing here.
Thank you.

Did you create position in your php ?

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

I couldn't create it because I am not really sure which php file I need to add the position to.

I have tried looking into some template tutorials but it skipped that part.

Thank you.

Hello

1. file to edit for category view:
(also used by effects my-items and author views)

category_items.php
and/or category_items_html5.php

2. file to edit for item view:

item.php
and/or item_html5.php


Just find a block :

// BOF (Begin)
...
// EOF (End)

which contains an existing position

copy paste it and change it to have the new position name:

Hi there,

This is what I have at the moment inside the item.php
Code:
<?php // Modular item layout // If customizing via CSS rules or JS scripts is not enough, then please copy the following file here to customize the HTML too include(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'tmpl_common'.DS.'item_layouts'.DS.'modular.php'); ?>


I could not find these lines

// BOF (Begin)
...
// EOF (End)

Thank you.

Hello

e.g.
<!-- BOF above-description-line1 block -->
..............
<!-- EOF above-description-line1 block -->

it is different in every template,
