Hi All,

I have a weblog which contains the names of manufacturers and in order to be able to select the name of a manufacturer from a drop down list while making an entry in another weblog I have set up a custom relationship field which is populated by the manufacturers weblog. When creating a new entry in the second weblog I get the drop down populated as I wanted so no problems there, however when trying to view any entries through a template I just get a 0 where the text should be.

The code I am using to try and display the content from a weblog entry is as follows:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="vehicle" orderby="date" limit="15"}

{related_entries id="manufacturer"}
<h1>{manufacturer}</h1>
{/related_entries}

Inside the related_entries tag, you’ll want to use custom fields from the ‘manufacturer’ weblog.  May/may not be the same field group as the vehicle weblog.  If it’s the same, {manufacturer} will be a number.  What you probably want is {title}. 

That help?  If you’re using manufacturer as the related_entries id, it’s definitely not the field you want to display inside the tag.
