Playa 2 Documentation
Development and Programming
Hi,
We’ve purchased a licence for Playa 2, but can’t actually get it to return any values in the template. Does any one know (Brandon!?) if any proper documentation exists? http://brandon-kelly.com/playa really doesn’t give much away. Alternatively if anyone can cast any light on the issue, we’d be very grateful.
Here’s the markup, and the entries are definitely related correctly.
{exp:weblog:entries limit="1" weblog="page" status="Main Navigation|Secondary Navigation|open"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
{body}
<h3>Related Documents</h3>
<ul>
{related_documents}
<li>{title}</li>
{/related_documents}
</ul>
{/exp:weblog:entries}We’re using FieldFrame & Gypsy, the rest of the weblog entry variales are coming through and the name of the field is indeed ‘related_documents’ but as Playa 2 is a FieldFrame field type and Gyspy is also one of Brandon’s extensions I can’t imagine it being that.
Thanks in advance and apologies if I’m being a tool.
Hi Matt,
Do the related entries have a custom status? By default, Playa only shows entries with a status of “open”. To override that, use one of these methods:
{related_documents status="open|My Custom Status"}or
{related_documents status="not closed"}Hi Brandon,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
I’ve actually just figured it out this second. I had the FieldFrame ‘Path to your “fieldtypes” folder’ set to a relative path, I’ve now set it to an absolute path and everything seems to be working as expected.
Thanks for the status pointer, that could well have been another potential stumbling block.
Cheers
