Item and Fields Array - Documentation?

Hello. I'm writing a custom Flexicontent plugin. The plugin will contain the following function:

The problem is, I cannot find any documentation detailing the $item and the $fields array contructs. Without this documentation, it is very difficult for me to access the data within these arrays.

Is there any such documentation anywhere? If not, is there a Flexicontent file that at least lists the fields these arrays contain? Thanks!

Hello,
there is no documentation for what you ask, other that the source code itself.

You can look at the code of another plugin, also you when you use var_dump() or print_r() on these variable to an: echo "<pre>" before ..., to be easier to read.

Regards

I thought as much.

Question - how do I do a "var dump" within a plugin? I've tried print_r() and var_dump() when testing the plugin code, but nothing prints out to the screen.

Thanks!

Try:
echo "<pre>";
print_r(item);
exit();

If the execution doesn't stop, then your plugin code is not called ...

I will give it a try, and report back. Thanks again!

Tried it - the code works! Thanks!
