Show custom field content in category table view

Hi community,

I am looking for a way to display certain custom fields in the category table view. I have already changed the code in category/tmpl/table.php and common/lists.php to e.g. display the location_country field, but I am struggeling with displaying any of the fields defined in fields.xml

The entry in fields.xml reads for example
<field name="field_Points" type="text" label="Points" size="50" description=""></field>

Can you point me in the right direction please ?

All the best,
Markus

Hi Markus

You will need to edit the code in the file components/com_eventbooking/views/common/events_table.php to add the columns (fields) you want.

To display the value of the field above, in the for loop, you can use the code <?php echo $item->paramData; ?>

(If you know programming, you should understand what I say above, other well, tell your developer about my suggestion so that he can do it for you)

Hi Tuan,

I have tried that, but without success. If I add that line (I found it in another post) I just get a blank field, but no content.

Do I have to pre-load the custom fields somewhere ? I saw that in models/events the customs fields are explicitely loaded, but it doesnt seem to be the case for categories. I can only grab the core fields there.

Attached is my events_table.php

I looked at the file you sent but I don't see you added any code ?

Hi Tuan,

I had tried to add <?php echo $item->paramData; ?> in one of the table fields but didnt get any output. Given the fieldname "field_Points", is this really the only code to add ? I mean, if I only specify paramData, how does it know which of the 10 extra fields I want to display ? Or do I have to add anything more ?

Cheers,
Markus

Hmm

Seems the code is stripped when I wrote it. With the custom field field_Points, you can use the following code:

Perfect, works like a charm !

Great. Thanks for confirming

Hi Tuan,

I tried the same modify but doesn't work.
I attach my file.

Hi Enrico

What version of the extension you are using ? I am afraid of you are using a quite old version and the same modification won't work

You should use latest version of Events Booking (2.1.0) for now if you want to use this modification
