I am using related entries pretty much the exact way it is described in the User Guide. However in the case where a venue is not yet entered I am giving users the option to use a Location Other field.

I have tried this but it doesn’t appear to work.

Rather than display the {calendar_location_other} it displays “{calendar_location_other}”.

Is {calendar_location_other} a field contained in the related weblog or is it in the current weblog that possesses the related entry?

Just talking through my hat here, but if the latter, you may need another exp:weblog:entries tag to display this one field.

But that could be waaayyyy wrong - I’ve not tested it or chased through the docs, nor have I seen the rest of your code for context.

Sorry for not making that more clear.

{calendar_location_other} is a field in the weblog that also contains the related field.

First a user is given the related field location with a drop down.

If the location they are looking for isn’t in the drop down they can then use the next field, Location Other, to skip the process of adding a new location to the drop down (which I discourage but writers are lazy).

If that is the case, does the code snippet I posted do the trick? I would think that would work in that case.

If not, I wonder why not?

You might want to add a test inside that line for whether they actually filled out that field as well.

But it could be the case that an {exp:weblog:entries} tag cannot exist within a {related_entries} tag pair. Try it out, I guess.
