Using file field as value on other field

Hi!

I have a field of file type that I want to display on two differents places

I´m reading this tutorial ( www.flexicontent.org/documentati ... ?view=item ), but I don´t get the proper value to show. How can be made?

Edit: Without creating a custom field preferably

Hello

To use file data inside another field you will need to duplicate the field (see our FAQ), then change you old field type to the new duplicated field and inside the function

onDisplayFieldValue use:

$item->fieldvalues[...field_id_of_file_field...]

-- so a more appropriate FAQ article is this:

www.flexicontent.org/documentati ... ?view=item



-- another alternative is to create the file field HTML display (put it in the "renderonly" position) and the use inside your template:

$item->fields[...fieldname...]->file_data

do a print_r on it

also the above will be available inside the function onDisplayFieldValue, if the file field display is created before you customly developed field

Regards

Thanks!

The renderonly wasn´t working properly, but I used the method getFieldDisplay, or something like that, to generate the value when needed.

Hello

The renderonly wasn´t working properly,

you mean that the position does not appear in you template ?

or do you mean that:
$item->fields[...fieldname...]
is empty ?

The second, $item->fields[...fieldname...] was empty
