[Solved] Is it possible to order Field Definitions in CompanyDirectory?

[ACDS]

M@rtijn just a follow-up...

In terms of the coding...I am not sure which code to leave an which to take out. I get all kinds of errors on my front end.

Do I leave the following as is:

Code: Select all

{if $customfieldscount gt 0}
   {foreach from=$customfields item=customfield}
      {$customfield->name}: {$customfield->value}<br />
   {/foreach}
{/if}

and then just add the rest below?

Code: Select all

{if $entry->customfieldsbyname.Yourname ne ''}
{$entry->customfieldsbyname.Yourname}
{/if}

[M@rtijn]

No problem, that's why we are here

The first piece of code will show all the customfields, even if the value is zero (or in your case unchecked).
So I suggest removing that bit.

You say you get errors? Can you post them here?

Hi Martijn,

I have not had time to further work on this until now. I think the problem I have is that my custom fields contains a number of words e.g. General disaster risk reduction...

thus this code seems wrong:

Code: Select all

{if $entry->customfieldsbyname.General disaster risk reduction ne ''}
{$entry->customfieldsbyname.General disaster risk reduction}
{/if}

This provides the following error on the front end:

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/www/users/acds/tmp/templates_c/CompanyDirectory^%%2B^2B8^2B838308%%module_db_tpl%3ACompanyDirectory%3Bdetail_Sample.php on line 56

Yes, the spaces terminate the call.

Just use a single word for your custom fields or underscore the spaces.

If you really want it to show 'General disaster risk reduction' you could make a custom template file (search for 'module_custom') or edit the labels in the lang file.

Underscoring / removing the spaces stops the error, but it doesn't call the entry.

This should work:

Code: Select all

{assign var='tmp' value='My field name with spaces in it'}
{$entry->customfieldsbyname.$tmp->value}

Please read the smarty documentation... you will find alot of useful information there... including how to handle array keys with spaces in them.

Thanks, but that still doesn't output anything, unless I have missed something more obvious:

Code: Select all

{assign var='tmp' value='Address Line 3'}
{if $entry->customfieldsbyname.$tmp->value ne ''}
<h3>Address Line 3:</h3>
<p>{$entry->customfieldsbyname.$tmp->value}</p>
{/if}
