Playa

That works perfectly. Thanks for the quick help!

No prob.

I’ve updated the file on my website for anyone else that is running into this issue.

Any answer to this Brandon?

Is there a way of checking against the weblog (and therefore the field group) that an entry has been selected from when assigning 2 weblogs and only limiting the number of related entries to 1?

Basically I want to use Playa to allow the user to select one item only from a total of 2 weblogs (not one entry from each).

I wanted to know of there was a conditional I can use that says if the related entry is from weblog 1 then do this but if from weblog 2 do that.

At the moment I have 2 Playa fields but using the above would guarantee that only one choice can be made.

Cheers and I look forward to a response.

Sorry, was a bit confused by your previous post. I think I’m following you now.

In the CP, set the Playa field’s Maximum Selections to 1. Then in the templates do something like this:

{related_entries id="my_playa_field"}
   {if weblog == "My Weblog 1"}
       {!-- whatever --}
   {if:elseif weblog == "My Weblog 2"}
       {!-- whatever else --}
   {/if}
{/related_entries}

That help?

Thanks Brandon! I will give it a quick whirl and let you know.

Didn’t work for me. Here is the initial template -

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="homepage" entry_id="62" disable="categories|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}
{related_entries id="homepage_choice"}
    {if weblog == "exhibitions"}
        {embed="includes/homepage_exhibition" exhibition_item="{entry_id}"}
      {if:elseif weblog == "gallery"}
        {embed="includes/homepage_gallery" gallery_item="{entry_id}"}
    {/if}
{/related_entries}     
{/exp:weblog:entries}

{weblog} is the actual weblog name, not the short name.

aha it should be weblog_short_name in there instead of weblog -

{related_entries id="my_playa_field"} {if weblog_short_name == "My Weblog 1"} {!– whatever –} {if:elseif weblog_short_name == "My Weblog 2"} {!– whatever else –} {/if} {/related_entries}

{weblog} is the actual weblog name, not the short name.

I’m a bit simple sometimes hey!

Eerrr.. is the latest version on brandon-kelly.com (v 1.09) missing its language file? I downloaded this to play with it, but can’t get the party started. Going to the Modules generates an error that the language file is needed.

Cheers, O2

Playa has never had a language file.

Have you installed the ‘playa’ folder in the right place?

Badomp. :red: :red: :red: Wanted to get moving a little too quickly. When I opened the ZIP and saw a folder of the same name I just dropped it into modules… whoops! I’ll slow down next time and read the installation instructions – thanks Steven!

No problems O2 Smith 😊

I’m getting the REL bug for all my related_entries where EE outputs garbled code instead of content, for example:

{REL[4137][tour_of_the_month]d25KUx7WREL}

This happens whether the field is a standard relationship field or Playa field.. Kind of frightening considering my project is heavily dependent on relating products to other products..

Does anybody have any idea where or why this bug originates? I’m on PHP 5.2.0 with 16 megs of memory running EE 1.6.4.

The extensions I have enabled are as follows:

File, by Mark Huot (v.3.1.1) Geo Coordinates (v.1.0.5) Tiny MCE Extension for EE (v.1.0.0) Playa (v.1.0.9)

Please help!
