I just noticed…What is your snippet name? Is it {exec_club}?
If so then it can not have itself as variable, at least not in the last code you posted.
the part of….entry_id=”{exec_club}”

{exp:member:custom_profile_data}

{exp:channel:entries channel="clubs" dynamic="no" entry_id="{exec_club}"}
       
             {club_teams}{entry_id}|{/club_teams}

{/exp:channel:entries}

{/exp:member:custom_profile_data}

Maybe a typo?

I changed the name of the snippet to club_id, but as you said snippets have to be static.

If you don’t mind enabling php you could do this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="teams" dynamic="no"}
    <?php
        $list = explode("|","{exec_club}");
        $current_entry = "{entry_id}";
        $in_list = in_array($current_entry,$list) ? TRUE : FALSE;
    ?>
    {if "<?php echo $in_list; ?>"}
        <h3>{title}</h3>
<p>        {embed="a_new_template_for_reverse_related_entries" entry_id="{entry_id}"}<br />
    {/if}<br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

You’ll need to fetch the reverse_related_entries via an embed because of parse order, but it should work…

Embedded template:

{exp:channel:entries channel="teams" dynamic="no" entry_id="{embed:entry_id}"}
    {reverse_related_entries sort="desc" orderby="title"}        
        <h4>{title}</h4><p>        <br />
    {/reverse_related_entries}<br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

I get a Parse error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in /u0/webroot/virtual/nifootball2/admin/expressionengine/libraries/Functions.php(650) : eval()‘d code on line 18

Strange. I’ve tested this and it works ok for me, however I only tested using a hardcoded snippet. To narrow down the problem can you try hardcoding 1|113|577|2055| in the snippet to see if the error goes away?

If it does then there might be a problem with Playa fields in snippets - I’d try going back to the embedded template approach and changing

$list = explode("|","{exec_club}");

to

$list = explode("|","{embed:exec_club}");

The error goes away when you hardcode it.

Maybe try this - no snippet, just two templates (visit the first one in browser, not the second one):

{exp:member:custom_profile_data}
    {exp:channel:entries channel="clubs" dynamic="no" entry_id="{exec_club}"}
        {embed="team_list" entry_ids="{club_teams}{entry_id}|{/club_teams}"}
    {/exp:channel:entries}
{/exp:member:custom_profile_data}

Embedded team_list template:

{exp:channel:entries channel="teams" dynamic="no" entry_id="{embed:entry_ids}"}
    <h3>{title}</h3>
<p>    {reverse_related_entries channel="fixtures" sort="desc" orderby="title"}<br />
        </p><h2>{title}</h2>
<p>    {/reverse_related_entries}<br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

I’m slightly clutching at straws here, not sure if playa will work ok like that - if not I’d try the Tied Entries plugin, or at least ask Adam Khan whether he thinks it will solve this.

... oh wait, that’s back to front isn’t it… will only return one club’s teams even if it does work. bah.

Maybe that was what our problem was here as I do believe it now works. Just going to test a few different clubs just to make sure.

:cheese:

Oh ok, for some reason I thought you wanted a list of all clubs at once

Scott…are you set?

Apologies, but it was a list of all teams.

Scott…are you set?

I am probably pushing my luck here, within the fixtures channel I have two fields, fixture_home_team and fixture_away_team.  These are relationship fields with the teams channel.

Is it possible to display the team name.

Scrub that last one its not going to help anyway.

I would like though but don’t think its possible to display a link depending on whether their team is the home or away.

So if the team is Abbey Villa
