Get field value directly from inside views-view-list.tpl.php

Question

Inside views-view-list.tpl.php there is a loop like this:

<?php foreach ($rows as $id => $row): ?>
  <li class="<?php print $classes_array[$id]; ?>"><?php print $row; ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

I want to be able to access the actual values of the fields inside each item, rather than passing off the rendering of the html to views-view-fields.tpl.php.

In pseudocode, I would like to do this (THIS CODE DOES NOT WORK):

<?php foreach ($rows as $id => $row): ?>
  <?php print $row->$fields['field_my_field_name']; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php foreach ($rows as $id => $row): ?>
  <?php print $row->$fields['field_my_second_field_name']; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Would I actually use the $row object, or would I use something else?

Answer 1

views-view-list.tpl.php file it's a view template to display a list of rows, not fields.

Theming only fields:

<?php foreach ($fields as $id => $field): ?>
    <li><?php print $field->content; ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

* file: views-view-fields--[view name]--[display].tpl.php

Theming the whole output:

<div class="<?php print $classes; ?>">
    <?php foreach ($view->style_plugin->rendered_fields as $delta => $item): ?>
        <li><?php print $item['field_my_field_name']; ?></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</div>

* file: views-view--[view name]--[display].tpl.php

Answer 2

took me a while to work this out so sharing the solution i used.

<?php foreach ($rows as $id => $row): ?>
    <?php print $view->render_field('field_my_field_name', $id);?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php foreach ($rows as $id => $row): ?>
    <?php print $view->render_field('field_my_second_field_name', $id);?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

There is a $view variable inside most Views templates that contains the entire View Object. Inside of it, you can access the raw results via $view->result which is basically an array of the rows. Throwing in a drupal_set_message('<pre>' . print_r($view->result, TRUE) . '</pre>') or equivalent will give you an idea of what you have to work with.

Answer 4

The simplest way is : $fields["field_name"]->content; Where field_name -> cck field name.

Hope that will help !!
