Hi,

I'm struggling to write a PHP code to find all the custom fields from a specific download within an exterior PHP script

How to retrieve the fields and their values ? Is there a specific function ? In Jdownloads 3.2 it was easy because the information was in table __jdownloads_files

Could you tell me what would be the code for version 3.9 ?

Thank you very much in advance


Erik

I really need some help here, at least direction ?

Thanks a lot in advance

Erik

HiSome of the fields in this note were imported automatically in an upgrade from jD3.2.69 to jD3.9.7.3After the import I added a field Group and two more fields attached to that group
The Field definitions are held in database table __fields see pic 'from--__fields-table.png'This table is the basic setup of the Fields
The field groups  are held in table __fields_groups see pic 'from--__fields_groups-table.png'
The Values are held in table __fields_values-table.png see pic 'from--__fields_values-table.png'
Note that all the field related tables have 'com_jdownloads.download' in the 'context table so that would be used in any DB search.

Thank you very much Colin for your reply,

I will study that now.

I came out with this code, and I'm trying to adapt it to jdownloads custom field without success. It returns an empty array.

$article_id = '824'; //<-- Jdownloads file id
       
        JLoader::register('FieldsHelper', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_fields/helpers/fields.php'); //load fields helper
        $customFieldnames = FieldsHelper::getFields('com_jdownloads.download', $article_id, true); // get custom field names by article id
        $customFieldIds = array_map(create_function('$o', 'return $o->id;'), $customFieldnames); //get custom field Ids by custom field names
        $model = JModelLegacy::getInstance('Field', 'FieldsModel', array('ignore_request' => true)); //load fields model
        $customFieldValues = $model->getFieldValues($customFieldIds , $item->id); //Fetch values for custom field Ids

print_r ($customFieldValues);

Thanks in advance for your lanterns,

Erik

I found my solution by adapting this code to jdwonloads :

Thank you

Hi
Yes I had seen the first attempt in Stack Exchange and was about to say it needs an arrayBut the second one is very much better
Could you perhaps send me a PM  (click on the button under my name) with a copy of your code as it might be a future idea for a jD module or similar to list the Fields from selected Downloads

Not sure the message was sent as it didn't appear in my sent box, so I re-post it here :

Hi Colin, this is the code I use :

function getJCFields($srcId, $fieldId=null, $dbfields=null, $context=null)
{
    if( is_null($context) )
        $context = 'com_jdownloads.download';
   
    if( is_array($srcId) || is_object($srcId) ) {
        JLoader::register('FieldsHelper', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.'/components/com_fields/helpers/fields.php');
        $jfields = FieldsHelper::getFields($context, $srcId, true);
    }
    else
    if( is_int($srcId) )
    {
        if( is_null($dbfields) )
            $dbfields = 'id,label,value,item_id';
       
        $db = JFactory::getDbo();
        $db->setQuery('
        SELECT '.$dbfields.'
        FROM #__fields
        LEFT JOIN #__fields_values ON #__fields.id = #__fields_values.field_id
        WHERE context = "'.$context.'"
        AND #__fields_values.item_id = '.$srcId.'
        AND #__fields.state = 1
        ');
       
        $jfields = $db->loadObjectList();
    }
   
    $fieldval=[];
    foreach($jfields as $val)
    {
        $fieldval[$val->id] = (object)['label'=>$val->label,'value'=>$val->value];
    }
   
    $fval = $fieldval;
    if( !is_null($fieldId) ) {
        $fval = $fieldval[$fieldId];
    }

    return $fval;
}
And to call the function:

$srcid = ['id'=>578];                         // ID (578) of the download that we want to get the customs fields

echo getJCFields($srcid, 1)->label;    // label of the custom field number 1

echo getJCFields($srcid, 1)->value;    // value of the custom field number 1
Thank you
