Of course! The dede_fieldid is a crucial concept in DedeCMS (织梦内容管理系统), especially for developers and advanced users who need to customize templates or extend the system's functionality.

Let's break it down in detail.
What is dede_fieldid?
In simple terms, dede_fieldid is a PHP variable used in DedeCMS templates to get the numerical ID of a specific custom field (also known as an extended field or additional field).
This ID corresponds to the id field in the dede_arctype table (for channel fields) or the dede_arcatt table (for article attributes).
Why is it Used? (The Purpose)
You might be thinking, "Why do I need the ID when I can just use the field name like {dede:field.name/}?" The main reasons for using fieldid are:

- Conditional Logic: This is the most common use. You can check if a custom field exists or has a value before displaying it. This prevents empty or broken HTML from appearing on your page.
- Dynamic Class/ID Assignment: You can use the field ID to apply different CSS classes or IDs to HTML elements based on which custom field is being used. This is useful for styling.
- JavaScript Interactions: You can pass the field ID to a JavaScript function to perform specific actions when a user interacts with a field.
- Advanced Template Customization: In complex template structures, you might need to reference fields by their internal ID for programmatic generation.
How to Use dede_fieldid in Templates
The syntax for using dede_fieldid is within a DedeCMS tag loop. The most common tag for this is {dede:field name='array' /}.
Example 1: Basic Usage
Let's say you have a custom field named author_wechat. You want to display it only if it has a value.
-
Find the Field ID: You would typically find this in the DedeCMS backend under "Content" -> "Model Management" -> "Content Model" -> "Channel Fields". The ID for
author_wechatmight be, for example,8. -
Use in Template: You would wrap the field's display logic inside an
ifstatement that checks thefieldid.
(图片来源网络,侵删){dede:field name='array'} <!-- This block will loop through all the channel's custom fields --> {if @me['fieldid'] == 8 && @me['value'] != ''} <div class="author-contact"> <span>Author WeChat: </span> {@me['value']} </div> {/if} {/dede:field}Explanation:
{dede:field name='array' /}: This special tag fetches all the custom fields for the current channel/article as an associative array. Each element in the array represents a field.@me: Inside a DedeCMS loop,@merefers to the current element being processed (in this case, the current field's data array).@me['fieldid']: This accesses theidof the current field.@me['value']: This accesses the value of the current field.{if @me['fieldid'] == 8 && @me['value'] != ''}: This checks if the current field's ID is8(ourauthor_wechatfield) AND that its value is not empty. If both are true, the code inside the{if}block is executed.
Example 2: Styling Based on Field ID
Imagine you have different types of call-to-action (CTA) buttons, each with a custom field (e.g., cta_type_1, cta_type_2). You want to style them differently.
{dede:field name='array'}
{if @me['fieldid'] == 9} <!-- Assuming cta_type_1 has ID 9 -->
<a href="{@me['value']}" class="btn btn-primary">

</a>
{elseif @me['fieldid'] == 10} <!-- Assuming cta_type_2 has ID 10 -->
<a href="{@me['value']}" class="btn btn-secondary">

{/if}
{/dede:field}
Where to Find the Field ID
To use fieldid, you first need to know the ID of your custom field. Here's how to find it:
- Log in to your DedeCMS backend.
- Navigate to Content -> Model Management -> Content Model.
- Click on the name of the content model you are using (e.g., "Article").
- In the menu that appears, click on Channel Fields.
- You will see a list of all your custom fields. The ID column shows the numerical ID for each field. You can also find the field names here.
Important Distinction: fieldid vs. typeid
It's crucial not to confuse dede_fieldid with typeid.
| Variable | Purpose | Where it's used | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
fieldid |
The ID of a custom field (e.g., author_wechat). |
Inside loops that iterate through fields. | {@me['fieldid']} |
typeid |
The ID of a category (channel). | To identify which article or category is being displayed. | {dede:field typeid=''/} or {dede:field name='typeid'/} |
Summary
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| What it is | A PHP variable that holds the numerical ID of a custom field. |
| Main Use Case | Conditional display of fields in templates (if @me['fieldid'] == X). |
| Syntax | Used within {dede:field name='array'} loops. |
| Key Variables | @me['fieldid'] (the ID) and @me['value'] (the field's content). |
| How to Find | In the DedeCMS backend under "Model Management" -> "Channel Fields". |
While using the field name directly (e.g., {dede:field.author_wechat/}) is simpler for direct display, dede_fieldid provides the flexibility needed for robust, dynamic, and professional template development in DedeCMS.
