access an item's parameters in a category view [solved] was created by hede

In a category view I loop through the items like this:

Code:

<?php foreach ($items as $item) : ?>

How do I access the parameters of each $item? I tried this but it dosn't give any result:

Code:

<?php echo $item->params->get('bottom_cols');?>

Thank you.

Tryparameters instead of params:
Like this:
<?php echo $item->parameters->get('bottom_cols');?>

Thank you. No success, non of the following works:

Code:

<?php echo $item->params->get('alias', 'x');?>
<?php echo $item->parameters->get('alias', 'y');?>
<?php echo $item->fields['alias']->display;?>

I got this to work though with a custom field:

Code:

<?php echo $item->fields['test']->display;?>

But I would really prefer to use parameters.

aaa, yes the item parameters are not created in category view,

You could use :

Code:

$itemparams = new JParameter ($item->attribs);

But not these do not include heritage from component or category parameters etc,

if do not need heritage used the above other-wise use something like (i did not test):

Thanks a lot ggppdk!

Problem with $itemparams = new JParameter ($item->attribs); is that it does NOT contain the layout parameters. It only holds the "Parameters : standard" but not "Parameters : default" or "Parameters : faq" hence also not any parameters from a custom layout/template.

Your other solution is way beyond me. But thanks anyway.

add at the top of your category_items.php:

Code:

require_once ('components/com_flexicontent/models/item.php');

and, try this for every item:

Code:

$curmodel = new FlexicontentModelItem();
$curmodel->setId($item->id);
//$curitem = $curmodel->getItem($item->id, false);
$curmodel->_loadItemParams();
$curiparams = $curmodel->_item->parameters;

The includes parameters:
1. global components parameters,
2. overridden by category parameters,
3. overridden by content type parameters
4. overridden by item parameters
