Hi,

I need to customize the list view. I've copied default_hotspot.php to the htlm template directory to override it. Fine.

But I need to render specific fields from the customs ones in some specific position. Can't just "throw them" one after each other as per the standard template/layout.

Thus I needed to catch individual values to produce something like :

<script type="text/template" id="hotspot-list-item">

	<div class="hs-place-summary">

		{{#if multimedia}}

			<div class="hs-galleria"></div>

		{{/if}}



		<h3>{{ title }}</h3>

		

		<div class="basulm-hs-type">

			{{{cf-typeterrain}}}

		</div>



		<div class="hs-hotspots-overview-short">

			{{{cutDescription}}}

		</div>

where "typeterrain" is the slug of the custom field I need to render under the title on each view.

But this placeholder did not exist in the json stream.

So, I've hacked components/com_hotspots/helpers/hotspot.php around line 67 this way :

		// Add the custom fields to the array

		if ($customFieldsConfig)

		{

			$customFieldsRegistry = new JRegistry($hotspot->customfields);

			$jsonHotspot['customfields'] = preg_replace("@[\\r|\\n|\\t]+@", '', $layout->render(

				array(

					'customfieldsItem'   => $customFieldsRegistry->toArray(),

					'customfieldsConfig' => $customFieldsConfig

				)

			)

			);

//

// apchea : adding individual custom fields key/value pairs

//			

			foreach($customFieldsRegistry as $key=>$cf) {

	//			echo $key." --> ".$cf;

				$k = "cf-" . $key;

				$jsonHotspot[$k] = $cf;

			}

//

// end apchea

//			

		}

Is this the right way ? Or does something else already exist ? Or clever way to do it ?

If not, would you consider include it in the next release ?

Thanks,

Laurent
