I've created a view which outputs a particular content type into a jCarousel.
One of my fields is a 'background colour' and I want to use this value for the actual background colour of the li element in my jCarousel. The next is an image and I want this image to be wrapped in a div that I can lay out correctly within the same li of the carousel.
So, this carousel will have a customisable image and background colour for each member of the content type.
The problem is, in jCarousel, the fields are just dumped into an array haphazardly, so I cannot output different fields in different ways. Ideally, what I'd like to happen is: in the jcarousel-view.tpl.php I'd like to output $rows[0]['background-color'] into my custom html div tags and then $rows[0]['image'] output into my own custom classed div tags also - obviously iterated within a loop to apply the individual settings to each element.
However, the current set up is that $rows[0] dumps both fields into their default styles and I can't access individual fields.
Now, is this something I can control in Views? Or do I need to do some custom hacking to get this to work?
have you tried working with the rewrite the output option in view? just click on any field in view edit page, you should see it.
