Returning the Value of an Extra_Field In category_item View was created by quebecguitare

Hello, thank you for reading this post.

I am trying to return the value of the extra_field_13 of an item, right in the header of the category_item view under the title.

This doesn't seems to work, I get an Invalid argument supplied for foreach.

Please help!

Regards

<header>
<?php if(isset($this->item->editLink)): ?>
<a class="catItemEditLink modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $this->item->editLink; ?>"> <?php echo JText::_('K2_EDIT_ITEM'); ?> </a>
<?php endif; ?>
<h2>


<?php
//convertArray to use ids as key
$extrafields = array();
foreach($this->item->extra_fields as $item)
{
$extrafields[$item->id] = $item->value;
}
?>
<?php if ($this->item->params->get('catItemTitleLinked')): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>"><?php echo $this->item->title; ?></a></br>
<a href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>"><?php echo $extrafields[13]; ?></a>
<?php else: ?>
<?php echo $this->item->title; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemFeaturedNotice') && $this->item->featured): ?>
<sup><?php echo JText::_('K2_FEATURED'); ?></sup>
<?php endif; ?>
</h2>
</header>

Thank you for your time!

You can render specific extrafields like this:

$this->item->extraFields->EXTRAFIELDALIASHERE->name
$this->item->extraFields->EXTRAFIELDALIASHERE->value

(Check where $item and $this->item has been used).

Double check your category's settings to see if the extrafields are enabled.

I try this:

 <?php echo $this->item->extraFields->test->name ;?><?php echo $extraField[4]->value;?><br/>
    <?php echo $this->item->extraFields->test->value ;?>
    <?php echo ($item->extraField->test->value); ?>
    <?php echo isset($item->extraFields->test->name); ?>
	
    
<?php    echo $this->item->extraFields->test->value; ?>
<?php echo  $item->extraFields->test->value; ?> 
 <?php echo $extrafields['4']->name; ?>

And i check with in on top:

$k2obj = new K2ModelItem(); $fields = $k2obj->getItemExtraFields($this->item->extra_fields, $this->item);

So all extra_fields name are show, but we can't see anything about value.

try

var_dump($this->item->extraFields->test);

Make sure you have not made a typo in the field's alias.

It appears that this field is present but it is empty (["value"]=> NULL).
Enter a value and try again. It also better if you check if the extrafield has a value before rendering it.

<?php if( isset($this->item->extraFields->test->value)): 
// echo the field
else: 
//no field echo sth else
endif;
?>

OK i test it.

<?php if( isset($this->item->extraFields->test->value)): 
echo ok;
else: 
echo notok;
endif;
?>

I see notok on category_item.php and i see ok on item.php

And var_dump is different on item.php

	object(stdClass)#562 (8) { ["id"]=> string(2) "21" ["name"]=> string(4) "test" ["value"]=> string(14) "OK TEST OK" ["type"]=> string(9) "textfield" ["group"]=> string(1) "2" ["published"]=> string(1) "1" ["ordering"]=> string(2) "10" ["alias"]=> string(4) "test" }

It's very strange.

I see two different fields, check the id of each field (21 in the item and 10 in the category_item). Make sure that your fields have distinct aliases.

No no it's same, i just try to remove last extrafields and create a new one to test.

On category_item.php

object(stdClass)#466 (8) { ["id"]=> string(2) "21" ["name"]=> string(4) "test" ["value"]=> NULL ["type"]=> string(9) "textfield" ["group"]=> string(1) "2" ["published"]=> string(1) "1" ["ordering"]=> string(2) "10" ["alias"]=> string(4) "test" }

On item.php

object(stdClass)#562 (8) { ["id"]=> string(2) "21" ["name"]=> string(4) "test" ["value"]=> string(14) "CEST OK A MORT" ["type"]=> string(9) "textfield" ["group"]=> string(1) "2" ["published"]=> string(1) "1" ["ordering"]=> string(2) "10" ["alias"]=> string(4) "test" }

On your previous post you pasted

object(stdClass)#6909 (8) { ["id"]=> string(2) "10" ["name"]=> string(25) "test" ["value"]=> NULL ...

Which is a different field within the same group. Remove these fields and start over with a new distinct alias.

Please read my last post. Remove these fields and start over with a new distinct alias. Do not use test again. If you keep getting the same issue let me know.

This most likely related to a conflict with other K2 extensions which are used. Due to the face that this is a live site I would not like to change anything.

You should move this site to a dev enviroment, update K2 to 2.6.9 and update all your extensions.
If this does not work then try disabling these extensions one by one ( starting with K2 plugins ) until you find the culprit.
