[SOLVED] "Title Row 2" Extra Field not display in Category was created by Timothy Michel
I created an Extra field called "Title Row 2" and wanted it to display in item.php and category_item.php

Here is the code I added to item.php.
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>
<!-- Item article Title Row 2 extra field -->
        <?php foreach ($this->item->extra_fields as $key=>$extraField): ?>               
                <?php if($extraField->name != '' && $extraField->name == 'Title Row 2'): ?>         
                        <h2 class="itemTitleRow2"><?php echo $extraField->value; ?></h2>
                <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>                   
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>
<!-- Item article SubTitle 1 extra field -->              
        <?php foreach ($this->item->extra_fields as $key=>$extraField): ?>               
                <?php if($extraField->name != '' && $extraField->name == 'Subtitle 1'): ?>
                        <h3 class="itemSubTitle1"><?php echo $extraField->value; ?></h3>
                <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>
<!-- Item article SubTitle 2 extra field -->
        <?php foreach ($this->item->extra_fields as $key=>$extraField): ?>               
                <?php if($extraField->name != '' && $extraField->name == 'Subtitle 2'): ?>          
                                <h4 class="itemSubTitle2"><?php echo $extraField->value; ?></h4>
                <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

I only wanted subtitles to display in item view so I added the following to category_item view
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>
<!-- Item article Title Row 2 extra field -->
        <?php foreach ($this->item->extra_fields as $key=>$extraField): ?>               
                <?php if($extraField->name != '' && $extraField->name == 'Title Row 2'): ?>         
                        <h3 class="itemTitleRow2"><?php echo $extraField->value; ?></h3>
                <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

The extra title row and the subtitles display fine in item.php view, but they don't display in category_item view and I can't see a reason why they don't.

Oh yes, I took care to filter out "Title Row 2," "Subtitle 1," and "Subtitel 2" in the foreach loop where Extra Fields are normally displayed.

What am I missing here.

I think you approached this the wrong way.
I think since you already filtered out your loop you should directly render these extrafields.

I can't get past the spam filter right now, so please reed the attached text file.

But Thanks, the suggestion you make helped streamline the code considerably, but I am still having the same problem with category_item.php.

See attached:

Make sure you have used $this->item and $item where appropriate.
A look at your file will tell you which one to use.

OK the following works in item.php:
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemTitle')): ?>
<!-- Item title -->
        <h2 class="itemTitle">
                <?php if(isset($this->item->editLink)): ?>
                        <!-- Item edit link -->
                        <span class="itemEditLink">
                                <a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $this->item->editLink; ?>">
                                        <?php echo JText::_('K2_EDIT_ITEM'); ?>
                                </a>
                        </span>
                <?php endif; ?>

                <?php echo $this->item->title; ?>
        </h2>
<?php endif; ?>                   
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>
        <!-- Item article Title Row 2 extra field -->             
        <?php if(isset($this->item->extraFields->titleRowTwo->value)): ?>             
                <h2 class="itemTitleRow2"><?php echo $this->item->extraFields->titleRowTwo->value; ?></h2>
        <?php endif; ?>
        <!-- Item article SubTitle 1 extra field -->                      
        <?php if(isset($this->item->extraFields->subtitleOne->value)): ?>
                <h3 class="itemSubTitle1"><?php echo $this->item->extraFields->subtitleOne->value; ?></h3>
        <?php endif; ?>                   
        <!-- Item article SubTitle 2 extra field -->      
        <?php if(isset($this->item->extraFields->subtitleTwo->value)): ?>             
                <h4 class="itemSubTitle2"><?php echo $this->item->extraFields->subtitleTwo->value; ?></h4>
        <?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

See: Behind the Smoke Curtain: The 9/11 Pentagon Attack

But in category_item.php, following doesn't:
<?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemTitle')): ?>
        <!-- Item title -->
        <h3 class="catItemTitle">
        <?php if(isset($this->item->editLink)): ?>
                <!-- Item edit link -->
                <span class="catItemEditLink">
                        <a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $this->item->editLink; ?>">
                                <?php echo JText::_('K2_EDIT_ITEM'); ?>
                        </a>
                </span>
        <?php endif; ?>

        <?php if ($this->item->params->get('catItemTitleLinked')): ?>
                <a href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>">
                        <?php echo $this->item->title; ?>                                           
                </a>
        <?php else: ?>
                <?php echo $this->item->title; ?>                                           
        <?php endif; ?>
        </h3>                     
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>
        <!-- Item article Title Row 2 extra field -->             
        <?php if(isset($this->item->extraFields->titleRowTwo->value)): ?>
                <h3 class="catItemTitle">                       
                        <?php echo $this->item->extraFields->titleRowTwo->value; ?>
                </h3>
        <?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

I don't understand the distinction between $this-> item and $item. Isn't item a variable or method of $this, the current object? We are drilling into the database, so that the drill down proceeds from $this, the current object; which changes depending on what it is wrapped in?. Nevertheless, it would seem to me that if the code works in item.php, it should work in category_item.php as the file is not a wrapper. I have separated the titleRowTwo part from the title to simplify the code so that I can eliminate anything extraneous. As soon as I get titleRowTwo to display I will nest it back into catItemTitle.

Again the problem is viewable at: Behind the Smoke Curtain:

Only "title" is displaying and not both "title" and "titleRowTwo"

this is to blame. The params->get is wrong. It refers to the item's settings not the category ones.

Wow Krikor, your awesomeness is overflowing. That's the context of $this.

Muchos gracias.

What is the category reference to the extra fields, is it "catItemExtraFields." OK I am going to have to do a little background work to learn how to reference this.

I hate to say this, but I am just not getting this.

Here is what I have:
<?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemTitle')): ?>
  <!-- Item title -->
  <h3 class="catItemTitle">
    <?php if(isset($this->item->editLink)): ?>
      <!-- Item edit link -->
      <span class="catItemEditLink">
        <a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $this->item->editLink; ?>">
          <?php echo JText::_('K2_EDIT_ITEM'); ?>
        </a>
      </span>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($this->item->params->get('catItemTitleLinked')): ?>
      <a href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>">
        <?php echo $this->item->title; ?>
        <?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>
          <?php if(isset($this->item->extraFields->titleRowTwo->value)): ?>
            <br /><?php echo $this->item->extraFields->$titleRowTwo->value; ?>
          <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
      </a>
    <?php else: ?>
      <?php echo $this->item->title; ?>
        <?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>
          <?php if(isset($this->item->extra_fields->$titleRowTwo->value)): ?>
            <br /><?php echo $this->item->extra_fields->$titleRowTwo->value; ?>
          <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>                                           
      <?php endif; ?>
    </h3>                     
<?php endif; ?>

My thinking is that there is no object
$catItemTitle->item->params->get('catItemExtraFields')
that $this->item->params->get('catItemExtraFields') would imply.

I have to get this done, but I am not gaining any insights. Any additional help will be very appreciated.

Have no idea why, but the Extra Field "titleRowTwo" started displaying under the title in CategoryItem view where it should have. Don't know what changed, it just started working.

It was probably working from your last edit, but you were viewing cached content.
