How to get the data of field collections

Question

I have one field collection with 4 fields. How to get the data of field collection in views tpl file

I am trying to load data as

field_collection = entity_load('field_collection_item', array($node->field_suppliers_value['und'][0]['value']));
print_r($field_collection);

The fields in field collection are one is text field and another one is entity reference and one more is term reference and last one is date type.

I am able to retrieve the data only for text data type and for other data types it was showing as [target_id]=some number.

How can i retrieve the data for other data types except text.

Answer 1

These are the field data types and their column names:

• Text - value
• Entity Reference - target_id
• Term Reference - tid

Combine that with field_get_items(), e.g.:

$items = field_get_items('node', $node, 'field_suppliers_value');

if ($items) {
  // Or $items[0]['target_id'], etc
  $fc = field_collection_item_load($items[0]['value']);
}

Hopefully that'll give you enough to go on.
