Edit extra fields (and create new)

guzzelmo

Where can I change an extra field name? This seems not possible. Why?
also I want to add some extra field. Where can I do this?

Hi guzzelmo

It's defined in this file: root/templates/ja_sport/etc/extrafields/team.xml

and this PHP file will help to render value for these extra fields:

root/templates/ja_sport/html/com_content/article/team.php

saguaros thanks!
Thank you. In case of update could I lose the changes Modifying these two files?

Unfortunately it is not enough to act on these two files.

Hi @guzzelmo

To avoid losing files during an update, you can follow these steps:

First, create a new XML file (e.g., team-2.xml), in the root directory /templates/ja_sport/etc/extrafields/ .
Then, move the file located at root /templates/ja_sport/html/com_content/article/team.php to the root directory/templates/ja_sport/local/html/com_content/article/.

guzzelmo What you mean by not enough here?

Which file you want to change as well?

guzzelmo

I tried renaming some extra fields. Also I tried to add a new one. Neither solution works. Indeed, to go back I had to do a backup restore

guzzelmo Which field and how you want to change? you can share the details and the login credentials of your site eg: URL + super admin account so I can check directly for you.

I just updated 2 files (as we mentioned above)

root/templates/ja_sport/etc/extrafields/team.xml
root/templates/ja_sport/html/com_content/article/team.php

in which I changed the team_nationality to team_color

and you can see the change in article page now: index.php/team/17-percorsi-dati/78-vk-korrasi

P/s: you may need to override the new language constant as well: TPL_COLOR

guzzelmo Hi

I can see fields on that page:

guzzelmo

But in the home page the same extra fields are not visible in the "percorsi" module. Why?

saguaros

guzzelmo That section belongs to Articles Category module, with new extra fields, you need to customize the same to render values for these extra fields.

You can customize this PHP file: /templates/ja_sport/html/mod_articles_category/player-2.php
