XF 2.0 Calling upon Custom Thread Fields and Performance Impact

[ManagerJosh]

What's the proper way of calling about a select number of custom thread fields on showthread (still learning template names) and what's the performance impact generally?

 

[Mike]

If you're viewing a thread, the thread field values for that thread are already available in $thread.custom_fields. Essentially no overhead.

How about the page where it's listing all the threads in a foruM?

 

[Mike]

I believe the information should generally be available there as well without significant overhead. The main detection would probably be by looking at the queries run on a page -- if you start seeing a similar query running over and over, then that would indicate that data is only being loaded on demand.

If we wanted to show only

custom_field_1

and

custom_field_3

but not

custom_field 2

on the list of all threads?

 

[Mike]

You'd need to call each value individually ($thread.customer_fields.custom_field_1) wherever you want it to display.

I must be doing something wrong. I inserted the following in and it's not generating the result I was hoping for..

<xf:macro template="custom_fields_macros" name="custom_fields_view"
                                    arg-type="threads"
                                    arg-group="before"
                                    arg-onlyInclude="{$thread.Forum.field_cache}"
                                    arg-set="{$thread.custom_fields.custom_field_1}"
                                    arg-wrapperClass="message-fields message-fields--before" />

Oh, you're using the macro which is for multiple fields. You need to pass it a set of custom fields then, so $thread.custom_fields. If you want to filter that to multiple fields you can change the onlyInclude argument (provided the format matches the field cache).

Hi @Mike, @Chris D . I am using $thread.customer_fields.custom_field_1 to display customer field. Its only work if I used text box Field type. If I used Radio buttons, Drop down selection , Multiple-choice drop down ... its just display Value ( value_a_z_0_9_and_only). I like to display Text. How can I do that? please help

@NHATKYMUA , Did you succeed in the end?

 

[NHATKYMUA]

its here, if you still need it
{$thread.custom_fields.getFormattedValue('fieldID')}

 

[canina]

exactly!
Thank you!

{$thread.custom_fields.getFormattedValue('fieldID')}

How did you do it?
i try this

div class="structItem-minor">
    <ul class="structItem-parts">
        <xf:if is="{$thread.custom_fields.getFormattedValue('fieldID')}">
            <li>Tipo de chollo: {$thread.custom_fields.getFormattedValue('fieldID')}</li>
        </xf:if>       
    </ul>
</div>

in fieIdID i put my name of the fild but not work...
I'm doing with check value or radio

 

[bolibick]

My solution for display radio and check box

tipos_chollos is the NAME of the field.

<div class="structItem-minor">
                <ul class="structItem-parts">       
                     <xf:if is="$thread.custom_fields.tipos_chollos">
                            <li>{$thread.custom_fields.getFormattedValue('tipos_chollos')|raw}</li>            
                     </xf:if>        
                </ul>
            </div>
