I have a content type named: lectures

In this content type I have a field collection field named: field_course_video_slide_sync

This field collection consists of 3 fields: field_start_slide_sec, field_slide_title and field_slide_number

What I'm trying to achieve is to rewrite them into this:

<ul>
 <li begin="field_start_slide_sec"><a href="#field_slide_number">field_slide_title</a></li>
</ul>

I've tried tpl.php, preprocess_node, field_get_items and views but nothing seems to work. I can't figure out what I'm missing.

Please override field-collection-item.tpl.php file present in the Field Collection module directory. You can put your code in that. Just simply copy it to your theme folder, and place the code inside it.

  • Thanks for the advise. I've created a file in my theme folder field-collection-item--field-course-video-slide-sync.tpl.php and wrapped the items in an '<ul>' but how can I format the 3 fields in this field collection from that tpl file?

  • Ok, So I hope your tpl is get called. Now we have a variable in it as $content. So you can check the content in that and print that according to you want.

  • Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. If anyone else wanted to know, here is what I did: I created a field-collection-item--field-course-video-slide-sync.tpl.php with only <?php print render($content); ?> in it. And did the field theming in field--field-start-slide-sec--field-course-video-slide-sync.tpl.php, field--field-slide-title--field-course-video-slide-sync.tpl.php and field--field-slide-number--field-course-video-slide-sync.tpl.php.
