K2 Extra Fields data is parsed incorrectly?

So I have a weird problem...

I've created 2 K2 Extra Fields (aliases: "month" and "day") for a K2 category using the "dropdown" option so users can select a month (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, etc.) and a day (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.).

I then created a NSP GK5 module to display the items from that category. I created a custom article format to display my Extra Fields, and it's working fine, except that it's not pulling the correct data from the Extra Fields. Instead of pulling the month name (i.e. "Nov"), it's pulling the number of the option (i.e. "11"). At first, I thought that it was pulling the position of the option in the array, but since the array is zero-based, "Nov" would pull as "10" rather than "11", right?

Hello,

The extra fields supports only the text values, so all radio/select types of the extra field are currently unsupported.

Okay, I see.

Are there plans to add support for the other Extra Fields types in the future?

I will consider it, because there is more and more requests for it - but all will depends from the database operations efficiency.

Hi

I am interested how u got the info block to display the extra field?

TIA

@PhoenixGB - it seems to be an article format usage not a standard layout with info block

Hi Teitbite

Is there any documentation for this?

Please read this article: https://www.gavick.com/blog/new-feature ... s-nsp-gk5/

Hi Teitbite


I am not seeing the Article Format Text window??

The NSP version I have is v1.5.1

TIA

Kev

So please upgrade the module to the newest version, btw I'm not a teitbite, I'm dziudek

Lol, oops sorry about that

Thanks dziudek

Will have a play with this

It just seems to be displaying the extra field alias not the value, any ideas?

Please paste here your article format code.

Hi

I used the demo code and changed the alias to suit, planned on formatting once I knew it was all working how i wanted it to.

Code: Select all

<div class="gkEventInfo">
<a href="{URL}"><img src="{IMAGE_SRC}" alt="{TITLE}" /></a>
<div>
<h3><a href="{URL}">{TITLE}</a></h3>
<small><i class="gk-icon-clock-solid"></i>{{EventDate}}</small>
</div>
</div>


EventDate is a name of your field or your field alias? You should use an alias of the extra field.

EventDate is the Alias, the title is Event Date

The field is a text field

Hi

I created a new extra fields group and two additional extra text fields, aliases are {{doe}} (date of event) and {{location}} (location of event), I then added the new field aliases to the article format text and the doe appears as the alias (no curly brackets) but the location appears with the double curly brackets?

Any ideas?, this is more or less the last thing I need to sort before handover

Please send me a PM message with FTP and back-end access - I will analyze this issue.

Your issue was caused by fact that you didn't enabled the "Get K2 Extra Fields" option under the "K2 Additional settings" tab.Please fill the extra fields in all displayed articles - then all items will be displayed correctly.

Brilliant, thanks dziudek

Hi,

I am having the same issue, but with these settings:

Get K2 extra fields - on
Use own article format - on
Article format - none selected
Article format text -
<div>
<a href="{URL}"><img src="{IMAGE_SRC}" alt="{TITLE}" /></a>
<div>
<h3><a href="{URL}">{TITLE}</a></h3>
<small>{{EventDate}}</small>
</div>
</div>

My additional field alias is EventDate

this is the result:

the site template is edited Protostar, if that is relevant.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Did u check this was turned on?

Thanks, yeah, that is definitely on... that is the weird thing.

@wangolini - are you using the latest version of the module? Did you tried to set the lowercase alias for your item custom field?

Ahh, thanks dziudek.

Changing the alias to lower case sorted the problem!

Cheers,
Wayne

Hi

Whats the correct alias for the introtext, tried [INTROTEXT}, {introtext{ and {Introtext}?

TIA
Kev

The introtext uses just the {TEXT} tag.

Hi! I would also like to add K2 Extra Fields to News Show Pro GK5, but I would like to do this in the module mode "Grid News". How do I do this?

@hisslik - the portal modes doesn't contain an area for the K2 custom fields and adding it is a custom work beyond of our technical support.
