Hi all,

I have a channel with products, and a channel with cocktails. In the cocktails field group i have a relationship field with the entries from the products channel.

In the products template i use a reverse_related_entries tag to display the cocktails that use the product you are viewing.

The basics from the template i am using:

{exp:channel:entries channel="products" url_title="{segment_2}"}
....
{reverse_related_entries channel="cocktails"}
 {if no_reverse_related_entries}
nothing here
 {/if}
{my_custom_field} 
{/reverse_related_entries}
....
{/exp:channel:entries}

This returns nothing from the cocktails channel (but does not fire the if_no_reverse_related_entries tag, so it must be seeing something), however when i use fields from the products fieldgroup, i get all from the related product(which off course is the same stuff as the current page we are viewing).

I know i can use playa, however i prefer to keep the addon cost low, and this being such a basic use of the relationships, i’d prefer to only use the native stuff.

we’re on EE 2.5.2, using MSM 2.1.3.

Bit of a longshot, but are you using Croxton’s ifElse plugin? If you are, I had similar issue. But per Croxton’s docs I needed to wrap the {if no_reverse_related_entries} condition in a {no_results} tag to preserve the condition.

no, i’m not using ifElse. and it seems it does pull info from the cocktails group: the related product

Are non-custom fields working within the reverse related entries?

i.e. change {my_custom_field} to {title}  Does that return the correct info?

no it doesn’t. whatever i throw at it (entry_id, url_title, title, my_custom_field) it allways returns the data from the product, not from the cocktail

Hey Jelle,

Simple things first - have you checked the spellings on your channel and field names?

Have you made sure the cocktails channel has “open” entries?

{reverse_related_entries channel="cocktails" status="not closed"}

Is the site up where we can get a look if need be?

Cheers,

Yep, spelling is good, entries are open. The site is up, but cannot provide link here, as it will show up in google. can provide you with credentials in a pm/email

any news to report?

Hi jelle,

Sure thing! Be on the lookout for an email from EllisLab!

Cheers,

Just posting a note here to let onlookers know that we’re working with Jelle privately on this for the time being. I’ll post an update back here once we have something to share!

hi guys,

please look into this shortly, as we hope to launch this week. i put a temporary playa fix in place, so the client can review, but i hope to be able to keep that $75 in my pocket 😉
