Extra fields not showing in mod tabs gk5

Hey guys,

I'm trying to call an extra field {{website}} but i keep getting only the word and not the extra field

How can i fix this?

Another question, can i use the intro text instead?

I tried with {{introtext}} but i got only the word "introtext".

Thanks

Hi, I'm having a similar issue: in the homepage, in the agenda module, I can't get {{eventhours}} working. In all other views, {{eventhours}} is correctly translated into the proper meeting times, but on the homepage this is showon as: eventhours.

Any ideas ?

Thanks and Regards Andrea.

For those breaking their head against a wall like me, I found the solution. You need to use the extra field name "Hours" and not its alias.
GK team please do correct the template thanks.

Hi Andrea,

Yes i actually saw a post about this issue and with that solution. I think K2 when updated change something and that happen.

But in my case i tried the names and the alias of the extra fields, but i still have the same issue.

If i use {TEXT} or {TITLE} i got it working, but with the extra fields from K2 items it dosen't work at all... :/

Btw, do you have multilanguage enable on your website?

HI

K2 has changed order in database tables so everything got shifted. Using a name of an extrafield is a correct solution. Just rememebr to call extrafields as {{Title of extra field}}.

There is no introtext in NSP. You can specify how many letters/words of a text to show, but it's all takes as whole, introtext and text.

Hi teitbite,

Yes i read a previous post you had with another user explaining that. And i tried that several times with all the extra fields names and with all the extra fields alias too.

I had it work fine before i added the multilanguage. Can it be because of it?

I've been around this for a while and i tried everything... :/ I'm going to send you backend access by PM.

Thanks

Hi, no I don't use extra languages, but interestingly enough, I don't use English, but the trick works. I'm not sure anyway it is related to languages. I have read on another post that the user found a solution looking into how K2 treats the various templates. There is a "tutorial" here on the GK site explaining it but I can't fine the article now. Good luck.

Hi

What multilanguage method are You using ? NSP only supports default joomla recommended method, which means that it will require a different copy for each language. If extra field names are translated it will require using different translation in every copy.

Hi

@lc-mk I've just found an access to Your site. Looks like You are trying to use an extra field "short", but it's actually disabled on extrafields list.
