How to display fields in a custom template

More
8 years 10 months ago #55385 by Bold
My apologies for not understanding.

I have the fields assigned to render only. In the item_html5.php I am using echo $item->fields->display; to call the values. But the resulting page is still blank. I tried attaching item_html5 as a text file but sill get an error so I'm adding it below. Can you take a quick look to see what I am doing wrong? Thank you so much for your time!

Hello

This should work
1. place field in 'renderonly' position:
2. then use:
Code:
echo $item->fields['fieldname']->display; echo $item->fields['myimage']->display; echo $item->fields['mycheckbox']->display; echo $item->fields['name2']->display; echo $item->fields['name3']->display;

Also please note that the field will be empty if it does not have value for the current item

-- also please do this
in Joomla global configuration , set error reporting to maximum or development

are you editting the correct file?

e.g. if you add:
echo "reached 22";

do you see it getting printed?

As stated above I've put my fields in the renderonly position and my php file above is already using $item->fields->display; and it's not working. Again my apologies if I'm not understanding. Could you possibly send me a link to (or an example of) a properly working custom template I can use as reference?

Hello

you were editing file:
item_html5.php

but default file to load is item.php
- copying your code into item.php, it worked



In type configuration
inside template TAB, click to open the parameter slider, the last parameter
IS:
HTML Version: use global, XHTML (item.php), html5 (item_html5.php)
