[SOLVED] Get Gallery field definition

[nervino]

Hello, I've created a Field Definition (a checkbox with alias=pubblic_in_home_page) for the subgalleries, but I can't get its value in Gallery template.
I want to use the checkbox to show only checked sub-galleries in Home Page.

My gallery structure:

Code: Select all

- Gare
   - - First
   - - Second
   - - etc.

I call the module in this way:

Code: Select all

{Gallery dir="Gare" template="gallerytree2"}

In Gallerytree template, I'm using this Smarty code (suggested by Velden: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... 93#p312793) to load Gallery images in the slideshow:

Code: Select all

{foreach from=$images item=image name=img}
<div class="{if $smarty.foreach.img.index > 0}hide{else}item backcolrhover{foreach from=$fields item=f key=fieldalias}{if $f.value} {$fieldalias}{/if}{/foreach}{/if}">
	<a class="fancybox" rel="gallery{$galleryid}" href="{root_url}/{$image->file}" title="">
		<div style="display:none" class="galtitle">
			{$image->title}<br />{$gallerycomment}
		</div>
		<div class="hoverlinks">
			<img src="/images/magcircle.png" class="mag" title="apri">
		</div>
		{if $smarty.foreach.img.index == 0}
			<img src="{root_url}/{$image->thumb|escape:'url'|replace:'%2F':'/'}" alt="" />
		{/if}
		</a>
		{if $smarty.foreach.img.index == 0}
			<div class="caption">
				{$gallerytitle}
			</div>
		{/if}
	</div>
	{*assign var='g_prevdepth' value=$image->depth*}
{/foreach}

I've added:

Code: Select all

{if $fields.pubblic_in_home_page.value eq '1'}pubblic_in_home_page is ONE
{else}pubblic_in_home_page is ZERO{/if}

before the above foreach loop, but I can't get the field.

Any ideas?

Thank you

When above the custom fields foreach loop, you must identify the field directly, eg:

Code: Select all

{$image->fields.myfieldname.value}

When above the custom fields foreach loop, you must identify the field directly, eg:

Code: Select all

{$image->fields.myfieldname.value}

And below.

The foreach loop is 'created' conditionally so it's not sure it does exist. And I would not rely on a variable $fields outside the loop.

I tried to output
{$image->fields.pubblic_in_home_page.value}
before, inside and below the foreach loop but I can't find that variable anywhere.

I also tried to put just before and after the {foreach from=$images item=image name=img} loop:

Code: Select all

{$image->fields|print_r}
that outputs= Array ( ) 1 

and

Code: Select all

{$fields|print_r}
that outputs= Array ( ) 1 

Being this field related to the category and not to images themselves, may it be in another array..?

Another strange thing is that the cover image set for a gallery is not used.

Do you mean 'Gallery'?

You probably need to implement your logic in the gallerytree2 template.

The 'gallerytemplate' only loops through images of a sub gallery NOT the galleries itself.

Yes, I meant "gallery", sorry.
Hence, in gallerytree2 template can I retreive my field value? In which array I have to seek for it?
I didn't understand how Gallery module works and how I can get a Gallery-related custom field value.

From module help:

Gallery-related fields can be called directly in the gallerytemplate with {$fields.your_field_alias.name} and {$fields.your_field_alias.value}. You could also create a foreach loop on {$fields}.

but it does not work for me. Sure, I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what is it.

However, my goal is to let users to choose which gallery has to be published in home page; for this reason I thought I could use a custom checkbox field.

But maybe is there another, better, way to achieve this?

[velden]

You did check the 'Public' checkbox when creating the field definition? It needs to be public to be available in templates.

[nervino]

AARRGHH! It wasn't!
I only checked if the field was selected in the gallery but I didn't check the field itself...

I beg your pardon.

Thank you
