text field inside description field when using blog template

I have already created a text field to include a youtube/vimeo video in articles, by triggering a plugin that will show the video after the article text.
However, i am trying to create a second text field that will show the video image caption before the main article, giving it a "hidden" class to hide it in article view, but show the image in category blog view. It works when i add the image manually, but not when using the new text field i created.

I am using the standard youtube url to set the correct url for the image, and in template manager, i'm putting the field just before the description. The problem is that in category view, the first image from the description is stripped and shown, but there is no actual image there... because the image is before the description...

So, is there any way i can add a custom text field inside the description field, so that video caption is shown inside the description (so it can be stripped in category blog view)???

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello

this is the implementation of the category layout of blog template.

it is better to create 2 fields (1 for image and 1 for video) and display them before or after description

Regards

i have created 2 separate fields, images before description and video after description. In article view it's shown as it's supposed to, but in category blog, image cannot be stripped from the text, since it's not in the description but it's on a div right before the description.

Hello

a simple solution is this:

1. duplicate the blog template and create the 'blog2' template

2. place your image field in the "render only" position so that it gets created but not displayed

3. then
edit the category_items.php
find line: and replace it with:

is there any way i can set it to look into multiple fields for an image, description coretext and my custom text field for example?

the reason i want to do this is because if i edit category_items.php as you suggested, then image should always be in the custom field. But when there is no video caption but just simple images in the coretext field (description text), category_items will not be able to grab that image, cause it will still be looking in the custom field, which would be empty...

hello

yes you can, in the above code,
instead of:
use:
-- this way it will look inside an HTML text that is the concatenation of both your custom field and then the description field
