Yup ... so you change:

 

<?php echo $extraField->value; ?>

 

to this:

 

<?php echo JHTML::_('content.prepare', $extraField->value); ?>

When adding code into the extra fields, are you putting it into the "default value" for the "textarea" type?

 

I can only get the code to function if I put it into the k2 item's extra field tab directly.  This seems to not be the point of the extra field associated with a category.  I don't want to past in the code into each k2item.  I want to apply an extrafield to the whole category of items.

Which extra field type are you using for your code?

Hi Josh,

 

I am trying desperately to add some {gallery},{/gallery} code in an extra field but it is simply outputting the syntax.

 

I tried what you suggested above but it is not doing the job. I am using K2 2.4.1Is there something im missing here?

 

Many thanks if anyone has time to help me out here!

This is what I want to type into the textarea type extra field:

{modal url=http://www.primocraft.com/images/primo-craft-custom-bar-layouts.png}<img alt="mt_ignore:primocraft-master-bar-layout-icon" src="/images/primocraft-master-bar-layout-icon.jpg" height="76" width="88" />{/modal}

 

But when I save the extra field it reverts to:

{modal url=http://www.primocraft.com/images/primo-craft-custom-bar-layouts.png},{/modal}

If the image html tag is being removed you need to ensure that html is allowed for that field when its saved.

 

originally when I worked on this issue I found that you needed to allow html content in the if statement before the variables are set then saved to the database.

 

Open up Administrator/components/com_k2/models/extrafield.php

 

You can always put in a die() command and print_r sections just after the variables are set so you know whats about to be saved, then adjust as needed. The below should help.

 

//line 32 - replaced if (!$row->bind(JRequest::get('post',JREQUEST_ALLOWHTML))) //around line 53 - replaced $objects = array (); $values = JRequest::getVar('option_value','','post','string',JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW); $names = JRequest::getVar('option_name','','post','string',JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);

I have made the replacements to the extrafield.php as you described.

 

Now the code stays as is and nothing is stripped out in the extra fields editor.  Thank you Josh.

 

But even after the extra field group is assigned to the category, the code does not appear in the item editor extra field tab. And therefore does not appear in the frontend.

 

If I past the same code in the item editor extra field it works in the frontend.

 

1. Is the code from the extra field editor suppossed to be automatically copied into the item editor extra field tab?

2. If so then maybe there is something wrong that wont let it update.  Is there a cache for the extra fields?

3. The extra field title updates from the extra fields editor into the item extra field tab, but not the code in the textbox. Does that help solve this issue?

 

Here is the code for reference:

{modal url=http://www.primocraft.com/images/primo-craft-custom-bar-layouts.png}<img alt="mt_ignore:primocraft-master-bar-layout-icon" src="/images/primocraft-master-bar-layout-icon.jpg" height="76" width="88" />{/modal}

I don't know if this helps but I added a new item in that same category and the extra field's code gets automatically placed in the item extra fields tab.   And it works on the front end.

 

Therefore it appears that there is a saved state for the first item.  I have cleared the joomla cache, unpublished and republished the extra field but the code never gets updated.  However, the extra field's Name gets updates, as I have changed it to verify what gets updated.

Have you tried testing with an extra field without the editor? Its my guess that the editor is causing issues. Try it in a normal text input not a text area.
