[SOLVED] Extra fields groups in different places was created by Roman Lipatov

Hi!

I have created 3 extra fields groups.

How I can place 1 group in the top of the template,
2 - in the middle,
and 3 at the bottom?

Thanks.

No...
Is it already released?

You can download development version anyway.

Do you use a specific plugin to assign multiple groups to a category?

Hi Roman & Mohamed,

Another solution is to output each extra field individually, that way it does not matter what group each extra field is assigned to.

I personally prefer outputing extra fields in this manner, as it gives me a greater level of control.

Hi Joe,

The point is how they will be managed in the item edit form, I think your solution is based on only one group for all the fields.

Hi Mohamed,

Roman stated "top of the template", so I assumed he was referring to the item template override file.

Regards,

Joe

Ok, thanks. I use aliases to separate extrafields.
But of course, it will be great to create subgroups in K2 with own aliases.

For example, category "Cars" have 1 assigned group, that contains 2 subgroups with aliases (Key Details, Installed Options)

So would be able to displays extrafields from subgroups separatly.

Something like this

$this->item->Subgroups->SubgroupsAlias->value

But I don't know, may be this feature already exist in K2 v.3 ?!

K2 v2.x does support multiple groups.
What you can do is use one group with multiple fields and echo these fields separately in your template.

How to display separate groups on the item page?
Which code for this? I remember there was one that showed only the result of the field. I needed that exhibits the entire group.

You cannot actually.
One group per K2 category can only be assigned.
You can however render specific sets extrafields in our template

I forgot to mention that I'm using k2v3.

How to Display in a particular area, only one group?

I have 3 groups with 20 field types each, if I set this manually will take a lot of work.

I tried several times to edit the code of extra fields, but without success.

I believe that with this implement, we can have better templates to specific sites of real estate, cars and directories.

<?php foreach ($this->item->extraFieldsGroups as $extraFieldGroup): ?>
	  	<h4><?php echo $extraFieldGroup->name; ?></h4>
	  	<ul>
			<?php foreach ($extraFieldGroup->fields as $key=>$extraField): ?>
			<?php if($extraField->output): ?>
			<li class="<?php echo ($key%2) ? "odd" : "even"; ?> type<?php echo ucfirst($extraField->type); ?> group<?php echo $extraField->group; ?>">
				<span class="itemExtraFieldsLabel"><?php echo $extraField->name; ?>:</span>
				<span class="itemExtraFieldsValue"><?php echo $extraField->output; ?></span>
			</li>
			<?php endif; ?>
			<?php endforeach; ?>
		</ul>
		<?php endforeach; ?>

As you can see each group is rendered sequentially.
You can check the groups's id and depending on the group's id render (or don't) the fields.

Checking $extraFieldGroup->id == ID will do the trick.

Eg:

[/code]
<?php foreach ($this->item->extraFieldsGroups as $extraFieldGroup):
$extraFieldGroup->id == ID:
// Regular loop
endif;
endforeach;
?>
[/code]

I inserted this code, but not works. I changed ID for 2 ( ID of group).
I do correctly?

[/code]
<?php foreach ($this->item->extraFieldsGroups as $extraFieldGroup):
$extraFieldGroup->id == 2:
// Regular loop
endif;
endforeach;
?>
[/code]

This is just a dummy code, if you entered the correct code (proper if/ then/ else) then it should work fine.

Excuse me Krikor, but as I said earlier I am new to php and still do not understand anything, so the difficulty. My strong it is only css.
I copied your code and just changed the ID for the group id. K2 kept the original code, but still did not work. I have 3 groups with id's 1-3.
I tried to use this: [code} <? Php echo $ extraFieldGroup [2];?> [/ Code]

I know I am abusing your good will, but what is the code ready to make this happen?

Excuses and thank you for your attention

This is the code that you should use:

<?php foreach ($this->item->extraFieldsGroups as $extraFieldGroup): ?>
<?php if($extraFieldGroup->id == 2): ?>
	<h4><?php echo $extraFieldGroup->name; ?></h4>
	<ul>
	<?php foreach ($extraFieldGroup->fields as $key=>$extraField): ?>
	<?php if($extraField->output): ?>
	<li class="<?php echo ($key%2) ? "odd" : "even"; ?> type<?php echo ucfirst($extraField->type); ?> group<?php echo $extraField->group; ?>">
		<span class="itemExtraFieldsLabel"><?php echo $extraField->name; ?>:</span>
		<span class="itemExtraFieldsValue"><?php echo $extraField->output; ?></span>
	</li>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
