Within generic.php I can see that extra_fields that are returned by performing a print_r of $this->items. My problem is that this doens't include the name of the extra field only id & value.

How would I go about adding name to the returned list of values? At the moment I see the following;

[extra_fields] => [{"id":"8","value":"9cm, 16cm, 23cm, 30cm"},{"id":"11","value":"test"}]

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you but a question instead. I was hoping you could enlighten me as to how you were able to add in the extra fields to the generic item view (with more detail than you have above). I've been trying to augment the com_k2\templates\generic.php with some code from category-item.php, but no luck yet. Ultimately, I would like the generic view match the category list view so I also need to be able to show the Print and Share buttons as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would say that this isn't an ideal fix for adding in extra fields to the generic view but this is how I acheived it;

If you print_r($item) within the item loop you will see all that is avaliable to use within your template it is just accessing what you want to use. The extra fields for example are returned using JSON so they need decoding;



$extras can then be manipulated to return either its value or its ID!

Thanks Richard, I'll see what I can do.

How can decode the var $extrafield?

My code at the moment is:
$extraField = $item->extra_fields;
echo $extraField;

result is:
[{"id":"1","value":"Termin1\r\nTermin2\r\nTermin3"},{"id":"2","value":"\u20ac 2.000,-"},{"id":"3","value":"3"},{"id":"4","value":"1"},{"id":"5","value":"N\/A"},{"id":"6","value":"abgesagt"}]

What I would need is only the value of ID:5 or 6!

it is json string

<?php

$custom = json_decode($item->extra_fields);

$first_xfield    =  $custom[0]->value[1];

?>

 

<?php echo $first_xfield ?>

 

ro find all

 

do

 

print_r ( $custom);

What about when extrafield is a select list?
