split extra field groups in item display was created by robbrich

hello
thank you for making this plugin. in my site I have 4 extra field groups, but when I go to the item page, they are all bunched together. is it possible to separate them by group? for example, I'd like to break it out like this with the group name showing above the extra fields:

Group 1
Field 1 Value 1
Field 2 Value 2
Field 3 Value 3

Group 2
Field 1 Value 1
Field 2 Value 2
Field 3 Value 3

Group 3
Field 1 Value 1
Field 2 Value 2
Field 3 Value 3

Group 4
Field 1 Value 1
Field 2 Value 2
Field 3 Value 3

I'm thinking this will require updating the item.php somehow, but I'm not quite sure how.

thank you in advance
robb

Hello robb,

its true, you need to modify item.php to implement this request.

First, please read this tutorial, if you have not already done, to know how to use template overrides: getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-te...pts-of-sub-templates

then, edit the item.php file and remove the extra fields section there, then use this code to display each field one by one:

Code:

Group 1
<?php echo $this->item->extraFields->Field1Alias->name; ?>
<?php echo $this->item->extraFields->Field1Alias->value; ?>


<?php echo $this->item->extraFields->Field2Alias->name; ?>
<?php echo $this->item->extraFields->Field2Alias->value; ?>


<?php echo $this->item->extraFields->Field3Alias->name; ?>
<?php echo $this->item->extraFields->Field3Alias->value; ?>

and repeat for each group, with html formatting as you like.

Hope it is clear now.
