drupal 7 field collection, how to access elements from template?

Question

I have a view block that takes pulls a field collection. The field collection can contain unlimited number of items, where each item has two fields (url and logo).

When I kpr(get_defined_vars) within block--views--my-view-block-block.tpl.php I get the following :

enter image description here

as you can see $content is just a string, so I cannot access the field collection items. I can access and template each field within field collection just fine, but what I need to do is theme each Element that contains a link and logo. Does anyone have any ideas how do accomplish this?

Just try to use below portion of the content variable.

<?php print render($content['field_video_file_col']); ?>

Instead of "field_video_file_col" , replace the field name with your link and logo and use render function.

$content is a string, not an array in my case. – Evaldas Raisutis Jan 17 '14 at 19:15
