Thread

I am trying to use related custom fields. I got the following to work on the live page but I keep getting an error when updating the template that says:

{exp:channel …
No closing tag found. Note: some tags do not require closing.

Here is the offending code:

{exp:channel:entries channel="shows" orderby="title" sort="desc" limit="1"}    
{if showvideo}
{exp:channel:entries channel="spnsrbanrs" category="13" limit="1" dynamic="no" custom_fields="yes"}{related_entries id="bnrelate"}{vdsho_banner}
{/related_entries}{/exp:channel:entries}
{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Can someone help me to make the code work properly?

Thanks so much.

Dana,

It would not be recommended to split channel:entries tags like this with conditionals. Try this instead

{if showvideo != ""}

{exp:channel:entries channel="spnsrbanrs" category="13" limit="1" dynamic="no" custom_fields="yes"}{related_entries id="bnrelate"}{vdsho_banner}
{/related_entries}
{/exp:channel:entries}

{if:else}
{exp:channel:entries channel="shows" orderby="title" sort="desc" limit="1"}

{/exp:channel:entries}
{/if}

This did not work either. I think I will just simplify the client’s life and mine and make the banners custom fields with each show.

Thanks for the help though.

Hi, Dana - in that case closing the thread.. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
