Hi,

I'm struggeling to get field x to work in a list template. 

What I want to do is to grab only the first image placed in field x. I can do a print_r($cck) and see that the field indeed has the value I'm looking for, but I do not know how to get it with $item variable.

Anyone done this before and know the correct syntax?

Hi, and thanks for the answer.

The guide you link to I have used before, and I have success when using a content view override. But I've never managed to make it work with a search & list view, with list template. I've created some own code in the list template, and would like to call this first image in the field x. 

Here I use $item->get instead of $cck->get (as the $cck do not work in the list template view)

I know I can use "advancced" and place the fields in the items tab instead, and with that create a override with minima template or something to get it working, but I would love to drop this step and just do it straight from list template.

Overriding list template is not possible at the moment, you can only create new template and place your code there.

Yes, I understand. But what is the correct code/way to use field x in a list template, when not using advanced/item view? I can not get the $cck code to work, but have to use $item on list template code.

For templates only available documentation is to look into existing ones and see what they use.
