I know, you're probably ready to strangle me ._. I've been through your tutorial on templates and I've found this:

fields_by_id[12])): ?>

<span class="field-year">

    <?php echo $item->fields_by_id[12]->result; ?>

</span>

I assume this is what I need to be able to show only specific fields in the article list, e.g. Title, Genre as opposed to all 15. I have looked at the field parameters as well (Mighty resources allowed them to be excluded in the backend, sigh). I also assume that I would need to specify the field IDs.

I simply have no idea where to insert this in my default_list_review_requests.php. I have found this:

total_fields_keys AS $field):?>

            <th width="1%" nowrap="nowrap">

                <?php echo JText::_($field->label);?></th>

        <?php endforeach;?>

Do I replace this with the above? (Thanks )

I just have no idea where to insert this in the list template

Judah,

if i understood you correctly, you want to display only some of your 15 created fields in your article list.

You can achieve this without touching any template or write a single line of code.

For every field, you can define where it will be displayed under GENERAL PARAMETERS -> General properties.

The parameter "Show intro" will allow you to display articles in the list view. "Show full" will influence the display in the single article view.
