[SOLVED] Multiple queryfield templates? was created by kdave321
I'm enabling my own Points & Stars system for CB users. I have the display of a custom point history table working great with a custom template in components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbqueryfield/templates.

I then set up an equivalent Stars table with it's own queryfield and its own custom template.

When I try to display both of these in the same Joomla article ( [cb_point_history] and [cb_stars_history] ) it is apparently using only the first of these to be referenced. ( I tried switching points to stars and it just loads the first one )

If that's not clear, in the article I put
[cb_point_history]
...
[cb_stars_history]

and it displays
[cb_point_history]
...
[cb_point_history]

where the last there is only an empty result with point_history template

That shouldn't be possible unless both query fields use the same exact SQL as it caches by SQL to avoid duplicate calls. Are both fields using the same SQL? Please also keep in mind [FIELD_NAME] is a raw substitution and you'll need to use [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] if you want formatted output.

No, different SQL. I think I had to use raw to get the queryfield display template to work. I tried the "[cb:userfield..." just now and it displays nothing.

The first query field is
SELECT reward_date, points, reward_for FROM `#__user_points_history` WHERE `user_id` = '[user_id]';
and DISPLAY output is template pointing to my file under "table" ( a nicely formatted HTML table )

2nd query field is
SELECT star_date, stars, star_for FROM `#__user_stars_history` WHERE `user_id` = '[user_id]';
and DISPLAY output is template pointing to my file under "table2"

The nicely formatted HTML table has a heading with user-friendly column headings which are different between table and table2. That's how I can tell it is using the wrong one.

If you're using [FIELD_NAME] you're not going to get the formatted results. You have to use [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] and if that's not outputting anything then the field is either not accessible to the viewing user or the field isn't set to display on profile, which is required for formatted output but if you don't want it actually visible on profile you can move it to a tab that's in a not shown on profile position.

Well I was getting nicely formatted results with just [cb_point_history] but I was not displaying the field on the profile.

So I tried enabling display on profile and indeed, the "[cb:userfield..." syntax works.

But when I do that, I get the same re-used template problem ( uses only the first template loaded ).

Curiously, if I have only the 2nd field enabled to display on the profile, its template seems to take precedence.

Wild guess what is happening -

All I did was copy and modify /com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbqueryfield/templates/default/display.php
to table/display.php, and the same for table2/display.php.

I suppose you are referring to the class HTML_queryfieldDisplay to render the page, so the class is not unique.
