template parsing
Development and Programming
I’ve got a weblog, that relates multiple products to a certain entry using the checkbox field type and listing all the product names. So in a template, i use the exp entry tag to get all the fields for that entry, and it returns a string of all the products. But now I have a string which I’d love to toss in another entry tag, but that’s already been parsed, so the only way I know to get any of the fields for the products is using a mysql query and just going straight to the DB. I like not having to do that, partly because I don’t like the way the data is organized. Is there an easier way to accomplish my goal? Maybe a plugin or something?
Thanks.
The check box field type is a third party offering, so I’m going to move this over to the Extensions forum.
Okay… Well the problem is about needing to run an exp:entries tag twice, not so much about the checkbox field…
If you get a result from an exp:entries tag, and then need to do another query using that result in another exp:entries tag, how would that be done.
Thanks.
I ended up just using PHP to call the DB.
