Hello,
I need to call the "itemtitle" into a custom php (chronoforms) that is loaded inside a K2 item

get('itemTitle')

I need to display the item title into a form.
I have used different solutions...but seems nothing is working.....


Thanks to all!
Frank

Not really the solution you want but I use fox contact forms built into my K2 items. The form by default includes a link to the page it was filled in from, so the receiver of the form can tell exactly what item the user was inquiring about. Example:
www.siampropertydirect.com/villa-j-is-located-in-choeng-mon-koh-samui.html

Hello Rupert thanks for your reply, you're right is not my situation because I use another component to build forms.
I'm looking for a direct access to itemtitle (possibly without query) a direct access like "Joomla:: "

Any idea how to achieve this?
thanks

Hello,

Without querying the db there is no way of retrieving data in the current version of K2.

many thanks.
But with data layer in v3 it will be possible?

Sure! You can try it in a dev site (not on a production) and play around with it.

Nice,
you mean I can integrate this file....mhhhh.....interesting......could you please tell me the short way to get itemtile.
Many thanks!

Hi Joe

Here's my scenario,

I'm building a K2 based catalog, and on every item there's a booking form placed for the visitor to email back the site admin
At the booking form field, I've created a "Subject" field that visitor should write the K2 items page title then, as a product name
So, I was looking if there's any function of "self titled" for the "subject" field, when i found this thread ..

As i was currently try to understanding the solution here
I was stuck and confused here, what should i put on the subject field?

{source}<?php echo $article->title; ?>{/source}

OR

{article current}{title}{/article}

These lines won't work for me, am i doing something wrong here?

Please advise

Thanks!

Hello @DannyOHara,

Here are two solutions that you can utilize to produce the current K2 title:

{source 0}<?php echo $this->item->title; ?>{/source}

{article k2:current}{title}{/article}

Note: you may want/need to include "0" in your source syntax:

Please let me know which solution you utilize :)

Regards,

Joe

Hi Joe

Thanks!

I've tried both of them, installed the sorcerer and contempleter free version (does this make any sense?)



Unfortunately, for now it still doesn't working

Fresh Joomla 3.5 + K2 2.7

It is the form that is causing the issue.

Create a test item with both code snippets that I provided.

Please reply with results.
