call a specific category "additional field" in a template?

[rbl]

Hi!
I've add one "additional field" in a category (called "special format" and type checkbox) and I am wondering how can I call that specific field in the template.

The var is {$customboxes['title'][$z]}. I've tried a few things but it didn't work.

Any hint?

Thanks! =)

Well this is the code right out of showphoto.tmpl and corresponds to the coding in showphoto.php

We don't call a specific field. We print all variables. It is an array so they would be something like this

$customboxes['title'][1]
$customboxes['title'][2]
$customboxes['title'][3]

etc

Chuck, I need to use the value in another place in the template, my idea is this:
- if the user checks that additional field checkbox, the Extra Text Fields #n won't be shown and for that I will modify the template changing this:
if ( $Globals['extranname'] != "" && !empty($extran))
into this:
if ( $Globals['extranname'] != "" && !empty($extran) && $customboxes['value'][1] != "checked")

Can I do this with the "additional field"?

well $extra1name and customfields are two separate things so that would not work.

The main $extras only show if not empty.

For $customboxes maybe this but I have not tested it

If I have 20 additional fields and I can't call the 13th ($customboxes['value'][13]) anywhere else in the template because they are only accessible in that array you posted above, then seems I can't do it =(

[Chuck S]

Nope it would seem so as they are called in the array.

You would probally make a query and grab it if you know the title name directly and define it yourself

Yes... that's an option. Thanks Chuck!
