show event -> extra information in category layout

Hi,
I have created a few extra information fields for my events. They are shown on each detail page in the small info box.
Is it possible to show these extra fields in the small info box in category layout as well?

Kind regards

Good question - Not such a good answer admin! from 1 month ago....NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

So, we have our custom fields via the extra information tab. Let's say I have

1.website url
2. extra information

How to I call them individualy? I can't use echo $item->custom_fields as the custom_fields field in the database holds information from both custom fields. How do I call the website url directly?

Also, I cannot add a custom field type file, or anything to add an extra image upload, or multiple select boxes even though this is listed in the joomla php documentation. I also get an error when using a dropdown list with multiple="true". The page displays "array".

i would like to know the answer too... how to display these extra fields in email messages?

Well it's been a while now and still no answers. Seriously, the lack of help on this forum from the developers is a joke.

I've removed my extra information as it just complicated everything and I found the database field containing lists of data that was only related by the fact it was a custom field - way too confusing!

Instead I edited the admin form (and front-end form) and created my own fields in there, added new fields to the database table so the new information gets inserted. Then all I had to do was edit the component template to call in which information I needed from the database and place it where I need it.

Much easier and more logical all around.

@ALL: I tried my best to answer all questions on forum. Sometime, I forgot to answer several questions. In this case, you can remind me, email me or better, please support a support ticket .

@staeren : Right now, the extension doesn't support adding the custom fields in the email messages . It is pretty complicated, so unless you know Joomla coding, it will be difficult. Right now, the custom fields in extra information tab is used for displaying purpose only.

@ymedia: Your solution is good. However, it is only possible if you have a set of FIXED CUSTOM FIELDS and you can add these individual fields to database yourself. The extension is designed for general purpose, use for different customers, so it cannot be used in this way.
