Hi... I'm really happy to have this new feature in K2: the possiblity to call certain extra fields without need of hacks... This is really useful! ;)

But I have a question:

Can I use the code to call a extra field in mod_k2_content? or mod_k2_tools?

Cause I put the php code to show an extra field (when the mod_k2_content show an article) but this give error, blank page.

This is strange, cause, if the module doesn't recognize the extra field, it should simply show nothing, but this error proves a possible bug in core...

Maybe this new code was created to work exclusively in the item view. But the documentation doesn't say anything about it.


Please, someone can clarify the question....?

Regards! And keep the excellent work!

PS: J 3.0.2 | K2 2.6.2 | Core SEF

First set error reporting on and see whats causing the error, it may be syntax or scoping issue

Hi William, thanks for the fast reply... so this is a bug? I have to post it in code.google.com/p/getk2/issues/list ?

Also the code is not working in category_item.php neither... This is a big problem for my overrides...

Hope to have a fix asap... thanks again! B)

Wlliam... I can't see this issue reported in the issue list

There are a lot of people with problems with extra-fields in the forum... Can I know if it's a real bug or i'm missing something???

BTW I try to activate the "show extra fields" in the mod_k2_content options, but the code gives error or blank page anyway.... :dry: only works in item.php

as i stated above
turn joomla error reporting on
goto site- global configuration - server tab - and set error reporting to high
reload the page
see if it reports an error so you can find what is confilcting.
I dont think its a bug, but something that confilcts

Hi William... the error is this:

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/d/mysite/www/templates/protostar/html/mod_k2_content/gastes/default.php on line 9

Regards!

BTW: The code is working fine in category_item.php

So... is this a bug or not? :dry:

So... is this a bug or not?

Using $this when not in object
means just what it says
have you modified or overriden the mod_k2_content?
if you have youve made and error in scoping the variables.
if you have not i would suggest back up , then install k2 over the top, and recreate the module.
if you still get the error, disable plugins one at a time and see if youve added something that may be confilicting....
