Sorry if this has been posted before, couldn’t find it

So I am running v2.1.3

I am writing a template page to return entries as JSON data for use with external modules

All of my variables are showing except for {body}

{
    RESTService: {

        entries:{
            {exp:channel:entries}
            
            {count} : {    
                
                entry_id    :"{entry_id}",
                author_id    :"{author_id}",
                author        :"{author}",
                channel_id    :"{channel_id}",
                channel        :"{channel}",
                permalink    :"{title_permalink='pages/show'}",
                title        :"{title}",
                body        :"{body}",
                status        :"{status}",
                    
            }    
                

            {/exp:channel:entries}
        }
    }
}

when I view the template, all of the tags return the expected data except for {body} which just shows {body}

am I using an incorrect tag? I don’t see in the docs where is describes a tag for showing the post body,
I am using {body} because it shows up in the examples

I am new to EE, so sorry if newbie question

wat do?

-D

vaneone,

I’m sorry for any confusion, but {body} is used in the examples as just that, an example. You would need to substitute the short name for the custom field you want in it’s place. Do you have custom fields assigned to this channel?

Cheers,
