Fieldgroup with custom HTML display values are not re-initialised properly?

Hi guys,

I think I've found a bug with the fieldgroup implementation on Flexi 3.1.1

As I mentioned in a previous thread , I created an accordion style element using flexicontent fieldgroup to hold multiple groups of accordion items.

The items may contain a title -> text field, description -> textarea, image -> image, image-size -> radio button.
These are stored in a fieldgroup which is allowed to have multiple values. The fieldgroup is then added with a generic text title and description textarea type field as an accordion 'container'.

The issue I have is that if you have multiple accordion containers on a page, when they are created they appear to re-use a 'global' variable, which contains the previous accordion data and just overwrites the fields that have changed. This works ok for the title, description and radio selection, however it does not work at all for images. Whatever is set for an image will not be overwritten, whether it is empty or full, and whether you try to overwrite with no image, or a different image, it always shows the same image that was originally set for the first accordion on the page.

This happens when you have the display set to custom HTML and using the {{fieldname}} notation to create the output. If I switch it to default HTML then it works fine, but the display naturally is wrong compared to the custom setup I have.
I can see the relevant switching of display in joomla/plugins/flexicontent_fields/fieldgroup/fieldgroup.php starting around line 480 with the calls to getGroupFields and getGroupFieldsValues, but I wanted to check with you first to see if this is a known bug.

I'm not sure if that's an issue with how it is trying to overwrite an image in an image/gallery object as opposed to the others, but either way, should the object not just be created as a new type for display each time with a separate scope and data?

Thanks as always for the great software!

Hello

test this:
edit field:
plugins/flexicontent_fields/fieldgroup/fieldgroup.php

find line:
Code:
if ( isset($grouped_field->{$method}) && is_array($grouped_field->{$method}) ) continue;
and comment it out by adding in front of it 2 slashes:
//

Hello


with not "re-initialized" do you mean "display value properties" of image field

like e.g.:
->"thumbs_src"

that contain the thumbnail url path ?

Commenting the line did not help unfortunately.

That is indeed what I mean. if I var_dump the $grouped_fields array after calling:
$this->getGroupFieldsValues($field, $item, $grouped_fields, $max_count);
It shows that the public property 'value' has been correctly set to null for the non-existent image in the second accordion, but the display_original, thumbs_src etc paths are still populated from the first accordion.

Thanks, hope that helps?
