I realise this is going to be something simple I am doing wrong… 

I have a weblog with 5 trainers in it, and another with testimonials - 2 each - which is linked.

I am trying to output a list of all ten testimonials, under a heading, “What participants say”.

All is working ok, except I am getting the heading up 5 times - once for each trainer.

I will be really grateful if anyone can help.

Here’s the code:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="trainers" orderby="date" sort="asc" disable="categories|pagination|trackbacks"}
{reverse_related_entries weblog="testimonials" limit="10" }
{if count == 1}

<div class=“section” id=“testimonials”>

What participants say

<ul>
{/if}

<li>

{g_body}

</li> 
      {if count == total_results}

      </ul>
      </div><!—/#testimonials—>
      {/if}
{/reverse_related_entries}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

I’d guess {count} is getting reset with each new instance of {reverse_related_entries}, so you’re actually getting the current {count} of the related entry you’re displaying instead of the overall items in “trainers.” You could probably move the {if count == ...} statements outside of the {reverse_related_entries} tag pair and have it work the way you want.

Thanks for the assist, Kevin.

marianway - does the advice from Kevin help?

Hi Kevin & Sue

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately it doesn’t work… now I only have the 2 testimonials from the first trainer showing up, and each has its own heading…

I would be grateful for any more ideas!

Hello again,

I have now solved this problem.

I had to take these two lines:

<div class=“section” id=“testimonials”>
What participants say

and put them outside the weblog entries tag.

This messed up the look of it, but have sorted that out now.

Thanks for your help!
