Hi, I’m using EE2 for this.

I’ve got a projects Channel called “clients” and another Channel called “projects”.

In the Projects channel I have a custom_field that’s a relationship field with the Clients channel. That way, when I submit a project I’ve done, I can select from a drop down menu for which client it was done for.

Now in my browser I’m showing a bunch of logos of Clients. When you click a logo I pass the url_title of that client in the URL of the browser like this:

mysite.com/projects/client_name

The problem: My intention was to take that client_name and tell EE “Get me all the stuff in my Projects channel that I’ve done for this particular client”. I wanted to do this with the

search:client="client_name"

But it turns out that I can’t do a search in a Relationship Custom Field. Why in the world? How do people then use Relationship fields?

And how can I accomplish what I wanted?

Thanks,

G.

You need to use the related_entries tag. So basically inside your channel tag for the client use a related entries with an id o the custom field name and that will pull the projects. Or in your case you might need to use a reverse related entries. It’s kind of late but look into the documentation about those two tags and you should be able to work it out.
