Is it possible to show the containing weblog title within the reverse related weblog tag? In my mind it should work, at least by using an assigned variable…

This is returning the title of the relating weblog, not the containing weblog. Help?

Edit: And if this seems silly, what I’m trying to do is display a select list of items relating to an entry, but the title of the main entry needs to be in the list with each item as well.

You’re likely to run into trouble trying to assign a variable dynamically - note the docs.

In this context, the word “variable” is used simply to mean the use of an ExpressionEngine style variable in the template to substitute for some other text. It is not a “variable” in the sense of being an accessible and modifiable value held in memory. It is a simple text replacement that occurs the moment the Assign Variable tag is encountered by the template parser.

Could likely do it with php parsed on output.  Or- Mr. Wilson’s Reeposition plugin might also work in this situation.

Make sense?

Yes, I think the php route will work for this. That’s kind of what crossed my mind this morning as well.  Thanks Robin.

Glad you’re all set.
