I am wanting to further customise my downloads pages with the custom fields. However:

Using {FIELD_69} to display the contents of custom field_69 within the downloads template does not render.
Using:

Name	Current
{DIRECTIVE_EMBEDMENT}

 

Does not list the custom fields of the downloads either. The downloads template does not appear to work the same as the catalogues do.
 

We don't pass the data directly, you need to use some Tempcode. OTTOMH I think this would work to get the 1st field (#0).

{$CATALOGUE_ENTRY_FIELD_VALUE,{$CATALOGUE_ENTRY_FOR,download,{ID}},0}

I added a tracker issue, I like the idea of what you expected to happen:
0003269: Pass in custom field template parameters directly to content templates - Composr CMS feature tracker

Thanks Chris, that worked a treat. Added a version number to the downloads, and a couple of other fields.

For those that want an explanation of why I wanted this and how I used it in the doanloads template.




The first call is to only show this field if it's not empty.


Shows the content of the first custom field in the download, noting it starts from 0.



In your custom field ensure you have visible unticked. This way that field will only show in your new table entry per above pic.

So far there are 3 custom fields being used: Version (This should already be a download feature, but isn't so had to create a custom field), Compatible and Support (Referencing our support forum for the download).
