Playa 1.3 - New Publish page limiting & ordering settings

A good improvement to Playa might be keystroke navigation – i.e., press “B” and be taken to the entries starting with “B”. Even so, 2500 entries seems like a lot to pick through. Solspace has a Related Entries extension that navigates by searching the title.

Yep I have the Related Entries extension from Solspace and it’s great in that regard but was just wondering what it might be like with Playa. Would be great to have an ajax live-search in Playa 😉

Hi, I am trying something out of the ordinary. I am hoping this will work. But Right now it isn’t.

I have a weblog with a playa custom field. I make a few relations te entries and publish this. Now I have another weblog that also has a playa custom field that relates to the entries made in the above weblog.

Meaning I am getting related entries inside of related entries.

The code going with this is:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="venp_opt"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
<hr >
    {related_entries id="venp_frm_opt"}
        <h4>{title}</h4>
        {testing1}
    {/related_entries}   
    <hr >
{/exp:weblog:entries}

This does give me some output. But not the correct output: http://www.deoudeplank.eu/index.php/site/playa I have also tried to add another related entries tag like this:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="venp_opt"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
<hr >
    {related_entries id="venp_frm_opt"}
        <h4>{title}</h4>
        {related_entries id="testing1"}
            {title}
        {/related_entries}
    {/related_entries}   
    <hr >
{/exp:weblog:entries}

But it doesn’t work. Is there a way to get this working :D ?

[edit] Found a solution that doens’t exactly do what I want. But I will find a way. I have embeded a template that has the entry. So it’s like this now:

Result

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="venp_opt"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
<hr >
    {related_entries id="venp_frm_opt"}
        <h4>{title}</h4>
        {embed="embeds/related_entry" entry="{entry_id}"}
    {/related_entries}   
<hr >
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Template

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="test" entry_id="{embed:entry}"}
    {related_entries id="testing1"}
        {title}

    {/related_entries}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

[/edit]

Yep. Without Playa, nested related entries require embedding templates. I assume it’s the same with Playa.

Is the free version of Playa 1.3 no longer available?
