Custom fields in category view

My custom fields are showing up in the detail view for each event, however when I try to use the same code in the category view (views/category/tmpl/default.php) it doesn't display the custom fields.

I am running version 1.4.4

The code I am trying to use in the category view is:

if ($this->config->event_custom_field) {
foreach ($this->params as $param) {
if (strlen($param[4])) {
?>
<div class="eb_prop">
<dt>
<strong><?php echo $param[3]; ?></strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<?php echo $param[4] ; ?>
</dd>
</div>

Do I need to use something different in the category view?

Thanks for your help.

Hi

You cannot use that code in the category page because in category page, that variable ($this->params) is not available. What version of Joomla you are using ? If you are using Joomla 2.5, maybe you can consider upgrading your site to version 1.5.3 of Events Booking. In that version, custom fields are displayed in the category page by default.

Thanks for replying.

I am using Joomla 2.5 but unfortunately it's not possible for me to upgrade the site at this time. Unless there is another solution, I will just have to wait.

Thanks.

Hi

If it is not possible to upgrade, then you will need to customize the code yourself. Maybe getting the latest version of Events Booking , look at the code to see how it is written and then copy it to the version you are using on your site.

we have the latest version of Events Booking and our Custom Fields are not showing in our Cat Table Layout. We have it selected to show in the admin.
