Hello
could you please tell me how to make this code working with custom field type image?
I used it to upload pdf files

<div class="product-fields">
       <?php
       $custom_title = null;
       foreach ($this->product->customfieldsSorted[link] as $field) {
      if ($field->display) {
          ?>
          <?php if ($field->custom_title != $custom_title) { ?>
             <a href="<?php echo $field->display ?>" ><?php echo JText::_($field->custom_title); ?></a>
<?php } ?>
          <?php } ?> <?php } ?>
        </div>

amorino,
The correct API is a little different, you have to check the position, to make sure it does not show up in all positions

the position name is "pdf"

If using a string for the pdf url

<?php foreach ($this->product->customfieldsSorted[$this->position] as $field) {
         if ($field->layout_pos == pdf) { ?>
<a class="pdficon" target="_blank" href="<?php echo $field->display;?>"></a><?php
         }
       }
       ?>

if just using image field
<?php foreach ($this->product->customfieldsSorted[$this->position] as $field) {
         if ($field->layout_pos == pdf) {
                               echo $field->display;
         }
       }
       ?>

Hello PRO,
thank you for your help I used the second code in Category template but it gives :
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/****/public_html/components/com_virtuemart/views/category/tmpl/default.php on line 305

In admin pannel I made the position of the field (pdf)

The code I used is :
<?php foreach ($this->product->customfieldsSorted[$this->position] as $field) {
         if ($field->layout_pos == pdf) {
                               echo $field->display;
         }
       }
       ?>

Coud you help me please
Best regards

Using The Custom Field Type "String" for an extra field.

Warranty Display Example
1st Setup a Custom field type "string" called "warranty" like in the picture below.
Next Go Into a product, and apply the custom field "warranty" to the product.
Fill In the warranty text. 2 years, 3 years etc.

NEXT:: You need to create a position in your product details view for the warranty text.
<div id="warranty-text"><strong>This is the Warranty Div</strong>
<?php if (!empty($this->product->customfieldsSorted['warranty'])) {
   $this->position='warranty';
   echo $this->loadTemplate('customfields'); } ?></div>

Using a String for external images


Create a Custom field  type "string" named "external"
In Edit Product apply the field. Paste the url to the image in the field.
This below is the code for displaying the image.

<div class="product-fields">
       <?php
       $custom_title = null;
       foreach ($this->product->customfieldsSorted[external] as $field) {
      if ($field->display) {
          ?>
          <?php if ($field->custom_title != $custom_title) { ?>
            <img src="<?php echo $field->display ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->product->product_name ?>"  />
<?php } ?>
          <?php } ?> <?php } ?>
        </div>


Using a String to Link to related articles, installation instructions etc.


Create a Custom field  type "string" with the name "Installation Instructions" or whatever you want the anchor text to be.
Assign it to the position "link"
In Edit Product apply the field. Paste the url
This below is the code for displaying the link.

<div class="product-fields">
       <?php
       $custom_title = null;
       foreach ($this->product->customfieldsSorted[link] as $field) {
      if ($field->display) {
          ?>
          <?php if ($field->custom_title != $custom_title) { ?>
             <a href="<?php echo $field->display ?>" ><?php echo JText::_($field->custom_title); ?></a>
<?php } ?>

default_images.php
This code will NOT display the PDF icon in the additional images div

<?php
// Showing The Additional Images
// if(!empty($this->product->images) && count($this->product->images)>1) {
if (!empty($this->product->images) and count ($this->product->images)>1) {
    ?>
    <div class="additional-images">
   <?php
   // List all Images
   if (count($this->product->images) > 0) {
       foreach ($this->product->images as $image) {
       // Added By PRO
        if ($image->file_extension !=pdf) {
        // PRO Checks for PDF and does NOT Display it
      echo '<div class="floatleft">' . $image->displayMediaThumb('class="product-image"', true, 'class="modal"', true, true) . '</div>'; //'class="modal"'
       }}
        // PRO DONE, added the close tag
   }
   ?>
        <div class="clear"></div>
    </div>
<?php
} // Showing The Additional Images END ?>




THEN: This code will display the PDF icon wherever you want to put it
This code can go in

productsdetails/tmpl/default.php

<?php
//Pro Hack PDF to position
if (!empty($this->product->images) and count ($this->product->images)>1) {
    ?>
    <div class="additional-images">
   <?php
   // List all Images
   if (count($this->product->images) > 0) {
       foreach ($this->product->images as $image) {
       // Displays ONLY pdf files
        if ($image->file_extension ==pdf) {
      echo '<div class="floatleft">' . $image->displayMediaThumb('class="product-image"', true, 'class="modal"', true, true) . '</div>'; //'class="modal"'
       }}
        // PRO DONE, added the close tag
   }
   ?>
        <div class="clear"></div>
    </div>
<?php
}  ?>
