I've been using the Joomla extension DP fields to add fields to the joomla content model. The extension is great, I started using it after watching Macro Dings' talk at Joomla Day UK 2016 on YouTube.

So it is working really well for views in com_content, in terms of showing field values in article and blog views. However, I'm struggling to figure out how to display the data in a module or template override of a module.

For example, I'd like to show a couple of field values in a template override of the "mod_articles_category" module.

I was hoping there would be a helper and an class/api call to use from there, but I've not found one yet.

Glad you like it. If you just need the value, then use the field model as you can see here https://github.com/Digital-Peak/DPFields/blob/master/com_dpfields/admin/helpers/dpfields.php#L137. Keep in mind that the value is then not prepared. If the onContentPrepare event is fired on the article, then the fields are already attached to the item(article).

    Any chance one of you could post an example of the finished product? I can't seem to get this to do anything in a warp7 override.
