Hello,

Im trying to do something rather simple, but dont exactly know how to do this in EE.

Ive got 3 things. Continents, Countries and Cities

A city belongs to a country, and a country belongs to a continent

In my template, I need to display it as the following (for example):

Europe
..France
....Paris
..Italy
....Milan
....Rome
....Venice
..UK
....London
....Leeds
....Manchester
Africa
Americas
Asia
..Philippines
....Manila
....Makati
..Japan
....Tokyo
Australia
Canada
North America

How should I structure my weblogs? Or should I have categories? Where should I apply relationship fields?

Hoping to hear from someone soon.

Anyone?

A number of ways but, yes, I’d probably use nested categories on that one. Or, perhaps, make the continents weblogs of their own, it all depends on your needs.

I tried having each of them in their own weblogs and display them as such:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="s_continents" disable="catgories|member_data|trackbacks" sort="desc" dynamic="on" paginate="bottom"}

                    <h3>{title}</h3>
<p>                    <br />
                    <ul class="clearfix"><br />
                        <br />
                        {reverse_related_entries weblog="s_countries_states" sort="desc" orderby="date"}<br />
                        <br />
                            <li><a href="http://{url_title_path=/scrivoo/post}">{title}</a></li><br />
                                                                                    <br />
                        {/reverse_related_entries}<br />
                                            <br />
                    </ul><br />
    <br />
                {/exp:weblog:entries}    <br />
                <br />
                </p>

When the page is rendered, it will display it like this:

Europe
Italy

  - Rome

Asia
Philippines

  - Manila

Europe
UK

  - London

Europe
Italy

  - Milan

If you noticed above, it is repeating Europe and Italy and Europe and UK again. I need it to group the results and display like this:

Europe
Italy

  - Rome
  - Milan

UK

  - London

Asia
Philippines

  - Manila

Ingmar, Im willing to scrap whatever I have now, if you have a better / working alternative solution I can use instead

Ingmar, not sure if the issue I expressed above was clear. Let me know so I can further clarify it

Any updates on this? Its the only thing thats keeping us at a standstill atm

This sort of thing could have worked if it were possible to nest a {related_entries} inside {reverse_related_entries}

Im starting to think that something so simple as this issue doesnt look like it can be done in EE

kriz - can you give us an idea of how you want to arrange the content for each country/city etc? This will help us to understand what you’re trying to achieve. I’m presuming you will want content entries that are tied to a specific location - that’s easily done by using categories but I’m not sure what you’re trying to do with related entries.
