Getting field elements of another none-core field

Hi there,
I'm using this:
www.flexicontent.org/forum/index ... =viewtopic
And based on that, I'm gonna develop a new specific weblink field. As I'm beginner in this field, I'm not so aware of everything or maybe anything.
The question is: How to get the field element(s) of the field I mentioned? Should I run a query and get it from db, or is there an easier way? I mean, isn't it saved somewhere around, like $item->fields ?

Thanks

It seems no one saw this, or maybe ...
Any answers? Nothing?

Thanks

I am not a dev but use file plugin to start your .. not ?

I think you meant to say that:
from inside a field of an item "A", you want to retrieve one or more fields of an item "B", right?

I guess not.
I mean, I have added field "A" for a content type that get something from db and the field is not a core field. Now I want to develop a specific weblink field that uses the field's element of "A".
For example I have a content named "X". For "A" of this X I enterd "fesghel". Now I want to develop a new field that uses "fesghel". The question is how I can get "fesghel". Should I run the query again? Or can I get it in another way?

Thanks

It is possible
but it is needed that the display of field 'A' you need inside field 'B' must be calculated before 'B'

So you need:
1. to place ("Ordering") field "A" above field "B" in the field manager listing.

2. If you use v1.5.6 version put field "A" in the renderonly position, otherwise its HTML display will not be created

3. Inside code of field "B" (inside function onDisplayFieldValue) use:
$item->fields->display
to get the html display of field 'A'

I strongly suggest that you make the name of field(s) "A" parameter(s) of field "B" and get it like:

1. Inside the xml configuration file of field B use:
2. Inside function onDisplayFieldValue(), Get the name: 3. and then use:
