Hello,

I need to add an image to Extra fields. This new field will have no title, just the image

I’m following the instructions here:
https://www.joomlart.com/tutorials/joomla-tutorials/adding-joomla-custom-fields-in-article-with-t3-framework

I open this file:
ja_decor/etc/extrafields/project.xml

and i added:
echo ‘‘.JText::_(‘TPL_CLIENT’).’‘.$extrafields[‘us-thumbnail’].”;

After this i have the field in my backend and i enter the link for the image, but nothing show in forntend.

I edit the file:
/ja_decor/html/com_content/article/default.php

and added this code after
echo ‘‘.JText::_(‘TPL_CLIENT’).’‘.$extrafields[‘us-thumbnail’].”;

Now i have the title "Client" but no image.

Can somebody please give me a help on how to do this?

Other related question. I creat a new extrafield xml file, change it in the category, and when i edit the article i see the new fields in the backend. But when i check in frontend the old extrafields are still there and not the new ones.

Best regards

Hi,

The code you added into XML file seems not correct, could you check again?

Hello, thanks for your answer.

I did a mistake when i was writing this post… sorry my fault.

The code i added to the xml file is a copy paste of the code you have on the https://www.joomlart.com/tutorials/joomla-tutorials/adding-joomla-custom-fields-in-article-with-t3-framework

<field name="us-thumbnail" type="text" default="" label="Thumbnail" class="input-xxlarge" description="User site thumbnail"/>

Is this code correct?

Is there any cache settings in your server side? as I also tried to remove one of existing fields (for testing) but it keeps showing in article settings. So I guess your additional field doesn’t show because of this.

Hello Saguaros and thanks for your help.

I check with the hosting and there’s no cache settings on my server side.

I clean Joomla Cache too. So i’am guessing it’s not a cache related issue.

I think it’s a code related issue. Can you please provide me the code i need to add a picture in extra fields?

You can try removing some fields tabs and see the same.
