SOLVED: Extrafields with error. was created by Johann Scharfetter

Hello,

I tried to add extra fields to a certain position in K2 item view in a new website. (not de predefined view in a table)

What I did:
1.) In the Category-settings: the correct extra fields group is associated (Associated "Extra Fields Group")

2.) I added this code to item.php

Hi!

I do not know the version og K2 you use, but if is 2.6.x, you shoul write:

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>
<?php foreach ($this->item->extra_fields as $key=>$extraField): ?>
<?php if($extraField->value != '' && $extraField->id == 1): ?> 
<?php echo $extraField->name'.': '.'$extraField->value; ?> <!-- style it as you wish ->>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

And that is all!

Hi Jean-Philippe,

thank you for your answer,

I repost your answer, because it seem to have disappeared.

you need to modify your code:

put :
<?php echo $extraField->name .': '. $extraField->value; ?> <!-- style it as you wish ->>

instead of :
<?php echo $extraField->name '.': '.'$extraField->value; ?> <!-- style it as you wish ->>

Best regards

1.)
I added this code to item.php.
the error disappeared, but the content of the extra field is not shown ether. I tried several extrafield IDs, without success.

Hi Jean-Philippe,

it is working now. The error was that "show extra fields" was disabled ;) Sorry.

For others who wants to know how to use "Extra Fields" in a personalized way in "Item view".
In "Category" > "Item View Options " > "Extra Fields" > it is necesary to put "Show".
The extra fields will be displayed also in the standard way (in a table). This code need to be deleted forom item.php.

At the beginning of the item.php place following code.
