[SOLVED] Display extra fields in a table was created by eyeweiss

Hola,
I have only little knowledge on html and CSS and getting quite desperate on an seemingly easy php-task:

I want to display articles with extra fields in a table. There should be 4 columns each showing one of the defined extra fields.

Like this:

<table>
<tr>
  <th>Typ</th>
  <th>Ort</th>
  <th>Datum</th>
  <th>Details</th>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td><?php echo $this->item->extraFields->Typ->value ;?></td>
  <td><?php echo $this->item->extraFields->Ort->value ;?></td>
  <td><?php echo $this->item->extraFields->Datum->value ;?></td>
  <td><?php echo $this->item->extraFields->Details->value ;?></td>
</tr>
</table>

I have added it to category_item.php but it then displays another table for each article. So, I guess I have to work on category.php but I can't figure out, where to insert my table.

I was searching on several other pages but still couldn't realize it.

Link 2
Link 3
Link 4

Thanks for any help.

Hi. Each item has it's own extra fields so since you are inside a loop each item will have it's own extra fields table. What's the result you are trying to achieve?

A table should be generated which displays the extra fields of each article per row.

I'll try to visualize it here:

Type	Date	Place	Details
Basic	02.02.2014	Wien	Link1
Advanced	03.03.2014	London	Link2
...	...	...	...

I almost get there by using these instructions , but then I have an unordered list which is not as nice to handle as a table (eg. not sortable).

Thanks a lot.

I suggest to first read getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates . Then create an override for category.php and use the following code:

<table>
<tr>
  <th>Typ</th>
  <th>Ort</th>
  <th>Datum</th>
  <th>Details</th>
</tr>
<?php foreach($this->items as $item): ?>
<tr>
  <td><?php echo $item->extraFields->Typ->value ;?></td>
  <td><?php echo $item->extraFields->Ort->value ;?></td>
  <td><?php echo $item->extraFields->Datum->value ;?></td>
  <td><?php echo $item->extraFields->Details->value ;?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>

Thanks, Lefteris. Your code makes sense to me :). Still, it does not display any item - but it displays the headings.

It seems like it does not has acces to the "items". I deleted anything in category.php and replaced it by your suggested code. Could that be the error? Do I have to keep some parts of the original category.php? Do I have to insert the new code at some particular line?

PS: It defintitely "uses" the new category.php e.g. the table width changes, if I edit it in the new file.

In category view the items are split to groups ( leading, primary etc. ). We need to merge them before the loop. Try to add this code in the begining of the file:

<?php
$this->items = array_merge($this->leading, $this->primary, $this->secondary, $this->links); 
?>
