How to use field values inside FLEXIContent template instead of using field's HTML display was created by iamrobert

Hi,

My field is showdesc:

Code:

1::Yes%% 0::No%%

In my template this works well:

Code:

<?php if (($this->item->fields['showdesc']->display) == "Yes"):?>

<h1>YES</h1>
<?php else:?>
<h1>No</h1>
<?php endif; ?>

However do I get the same result with the actual value '1' rather than "Yes"?
My client is thinking about going bilingual - so it won't work.

Thanks,

Robert

Hello

you can access the value like this

Code:

$field_id = 19;
 
// Use in ITEM view / Category (multi-items) view
$fvals = $item->fieldvalues[$field_id];  // or $items[$i] for category view

Thanks - that solved my issue.

Here is my final code:

Code:

 <?php
// Set Field ID
$field_id = 30;
 
// Use in ITEM view
$fvals = $item->fieldvalues[$field_id]; 
  
if (!empty($fvals)) foreach ($fvals as $v) {
	if ( @unserialize($v)!== false || $v=== 'b:0;' ) $v = unserialize($v);
}

?>

Execute if Yes

Code:

<?php if ($v == "1"):?>
<h1>YES</h1>
<?php else:?>
<h1>No</h1>
<?php endif; ?>

If we are using a checkbox - this seems to work.

For mod_flexicontent we should use: $item->_row->fieldvalues

Code:

<?php 
/*
 *	=======================================================================
	+ SET TYPE OF NEWS CATEGORY
 *	=======================================================================
 */
// Set Field ID
$field_id = 234;

// SET NEWS TYPE
$news_type = array();
    
// Use in ITEM view
if(!empty($item->_row->fieldvalues[234])) {
$fvals = $item->_row->fieldvalues[$field_id]; 
} 
//VALUE
if (!empty($fvals)) foreach ($fvals as $v) {
	if ( @unserialize($v)!== false || $v=== 'b:0;' ) $v = unserialize($v);
  $news_type[] = $v;
  
}

        
?>

To call it later in your template:

Code:
