check sd live plugin code

Thanks Klas that looks like just the thing!

Really appreciate you pointing me in this direction

Mmm not quite getting it from that example.

Is there not a way of including some core cck api / includes to access the extended article object in a system plugin. I thought SEBLOD overrided the article object but perhaps not at the stage of system plugins?

$cck = new CCK_Rendering();
$cck->initialize();
$value = $cck->renderField('yourfieldname');
echo $value;
$cck->finalize();

This should output your fields value, same code works in module so it should work in plugin too, you just need to pick the right event that executes after component has already been processed.

Thanks Klas, I will give this a whirl
