SOLVED disable fcvote, keep field display

hi there,

The Problem: I currently lose my custom field output.

The Details:
1) I don't need fcvote etc. So I disable the output of fcvote (BE > FC > Config > 'Performance Options' > 'Always create field HTML':'Never unless in template position').
This works: fcvote disappears.
2) In my FC-tmpl I do:
$img = FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($item, 'my_img');
This now seems to output an empty string.

The Question: I guess my 'getFieldDisplay()' is the wrong choice?

thanks for advice,
kath

Sorry, confusion on my side:

output of the custom fields does work, sory again.

However this does not work:

$txt = JFilterOutput::ampReplace($item->fields->display);

outputs an empty string.

$item is correct.
fields is filled.

thanks,
kath

solved it:

to correctly get the item text I had to use:
$txt = JFilterOutput::ampReplace($item->introtext);

instead of
$txt = JFilterOutput::ampReplace($item->fields->display);

guess i used deprecated code here.
