Joomla custom fields inside template

I would like to customize my template for Joomla 3.7 so that I can use the new feature of Joomla 3.7, Custom fields (com_fields), and display and format them via CSS in my template where I need to display them.

Can someone suggest me the PHP code I should use in the template to display field(s), some example please.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

certainly not the right way to do it but I had the same need and I found a work around based on https://www.giudansky.com/news/12-coding/146-joomla-custom-fields

Copie default.php from /components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php to templates/YOUR_THEME/html/com_content/article/default.php

Add following code line 25 :

$myCustomFields = array();
    foreach($this->item->jcfields as $field) {
        $myCustomFields[$field->name] = $field->value;
    } 

$GLOBALS['myCustomFields'] = $myCustomFields;

Typically you put on a global var the content of fields attached to your article. On your template page you can know retrieved value of your field. just print_r($GLOBALS['myCustomFields']); to view the content of your array.

That will do the trick waiting for a better answer..
