I added a custom field "Event date" to articles. It shows on the article page but not in the category blog list. Is there a setting, or do I need an override?

How do I show a custom field in the blog layout?
Solution
Automatic Display depends on the layout firing the content events, and many templates' blog overrides leave them out for intro items. The reliable way is a small override: 1. Copy components/com_content/tmpl/category/blog_item.php to templates//html/com_content/category/blog_item.php 2. Where you want the date, add: item, true) as $field) : ?> name === 'event-date') : ?>
value; ?>
With true the value comes back formatted by the field type. Use the field's name (alias), not its label.3 replies
