[Solved] How can I call news module custom fields?

[Torpedine]

I need to call the custom fields in the news module templates, but {$entry->fieldname} does not work. How can I do it?

Thanks in advance

I think it changed to {$entry->fields.fieldname}.
As usual you can find what is available with {get_template_vars} and {$<whatervervarname>|print_r}.
I believe {$entry->fields|print_r} will give some clues to what you need.
HTH.

I tried {$entry->fields.fieldname} - Using the field name {$entry->fields.Provincia}, but the output is a non formatted page without template...

[Jo Morg]

Sorry my bad... try {$entry->fields->Provincia}. This syntax worked on a test I just did.

[Torpedine]

It seems I cannot display anything.
I tried {$entry->fields->fieldname} but nothing is displayed. I tried with the capitalised version of the field (Provincia) and the uncapitalised one (provincia)

What template are you using? Summary? Detail?

[Torpedine]

Summary, but I have to do something similar also in detail

[Jo Morg]

My 1st answer was almost correct:

Code: Select all

{$entry->fields.Provincia->value}

I was in a bit of a hurry when I replied before, sorry. This should work in both templates, in the summary template it has to be inside the foreach loop that iterates through all the entries.
If you use {$entry->fields.Provincia|print_r} you will see how to call the other components of the field.

Thank you! It works perfectly!
It should be put in the module help...

It should be put in the module help...

The sample templates do have a very comprehensive help text in Smarty comments. May not be easy at 1st but it's all there and once you find your bearings it's not that difficult.
