Accessing / checking something in com_content...

[nimzie]

I've changed my output for the most part to be semantically correct within com_content. Trying to stick to the basic H / P tags for formatting and keeping things in tidy DIVs. So, with that - I want to change the function "show" in content.html.php.

I want to basically ask:

Is the "show title on"
If so, show the $row->title.

I've tried this, but I don't think I'm doing the right thing:


if ($row->item_title == 1 )
  {
    echo "

" . $row->title . "

";
  }

Maybe I'm using incorrect syntax. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong variable. This is a bit mysterious to me as it's my first trip through the chasms of code that is joomla.

The object $row is mosParameters. When I do a print_r on it ($row), I get :

Code: Select all

It seems like a pretty easy if then echo thing but I may be just a little off in my approach. Any help is appreciated.

I tried this:

Code: Select all

      $istitle = $row["item_title"];
      echo 'istitle is ..... ' . $istitle;
      exit;

and got this.

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\joomla\components\com_content\content.html.php on line 826

if I output:

Code: Select all

      $istitle = $row->item_title;
      echo 'istitle is ..... ' . $istitle;
      exit;
   

I get : istitle is .....

When I see above in the object output, I have 1 for the setting.

I've even tried $row.item_title;

I think that may be closer but there is some PHP error telling me I can't do so and so with a string:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\joomla\components\com_content\content.html.php on line 826

That leads me to think I should be converting this to a string? I'm sure there has GOT to be a prettier way to do this .. No?!

Thanks for any help.

I am still checking this out. I find it odd that I am having a hard time with this.

In content.html.php - in the show function... I want to ask if show title for the article is on .. if so, do something.

How hard can that be? ... hmm... well, I haven't figured it out yet.

$params->get gets me the param, however that is not for the article itself. Apparently from what I see in debugging things, $row is the object I want to check in.

Pretty please! Someone help!!

Wouldn't this work (Joomla 1.0.13):

Code: Select all

if ( $params->get( 'item_title' ) ) {
 echo $row->title;
}
