This question may be related to a resolved thread.

I forgot the category. This is not working, it shows every category instead of only category id 4.

<form id="form">
<select name="jumpMenu" id="jumpMenu">
{reverse_related_entries weblog="publicaties" category="4"}
<option value="{url_title_path='publicaties'}">{title}</option>
{/reverse_related_entries}
</select>
</form>

Which build/version of EE1.x are you using?

For this site: 1.6.8
In the meantime I discovered that it is impossible to use categories in reverse related entries. Right?

Sjoerd,

That is correct. It only supports six of the typical parameters used by other ExpressionEngine tags

{reverse_related_entries weblog="default_site" status="open" sort="desc" orderby="title" offset="5" limit="10"}

{/reverse_related_entries}

Thanks. Is it possible to conditional hide a whole div or select or whatever when there are no related entries?

From the manual:

{reverse_related_entries sort="desc" orderby="title"}
 {if no_reverse_related_entries}
  <h2>No Events for This Performer</h2>
<p> {/if}<br /></p><h2>{title}</h2>
<p> {body}<br />
{/reverse_related_entries}

In the method above there is always ‘No Events for This Performer’. A selectbox or styled div would act the same: ‘No Events for This Performer’.

But it is more fancy to hide the whole div or select. For now I did the trick with Brandon Kelly’s P&T Switch and an ‘if’ statement in the template. I suppose this is the only way?

If it works, I’d say stick with it. We can always move this to the CodeShare Corner if you want to go further with figuring out another method. Let me know if you want to move it.

No, you can close this. It’s not a big deal. Thanks.

Very good. Please post again as needed.
