Hi,
I'm customizing the UserDashboard.tpl for Events (on civicrm/templates/CRM/Event/Page). My environment is Joomla! 2.5.x and CiviCRM 4.3.7.
I've included some calls on the smarty template successfully using the format "$row.event_start_date" or the full call like
{crmAPI var='result' entity='Contact' action='get' option='com_civicrm' task='civicrm/ajax/rest' sequential=1 contact_id=$row.contact_id}
{foreach from=$result.values item=Contact}
{$Contact.display_name}
{/foreach}

BUT, when I call the Custom Fields, the results are getting trimmed to the first character of each return string, e.g., if the result should be C219, only "C" shows up in the result page. I'm using the following syntax:
{crmAPI var='result' entity='Event' action='getvalue' option='com_civicrm' task='civicrm/ajax/rest' event_id=$row.event_id return='custom_26'}
{foreach from=$result.values item=Event}
{$Event.custom_26}
{/foreach}
I've tried some variations with no success. I've tried the same thing in the API explorer and generator and there the result IS OK, it returns the full string, not trimmed (API explorer call field looks like "/administrator/?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/ajax/rest&entity=Event&action=getvalue&debug=1&json=1&event_id=12&return=custom_28".

Please, Am I doing any mistake or does it looks like a bug?

might help to dump the object and see the contents, maybe using something like:

{php}print_r($Event);{/php}
