If I need to use two relation fields in my entry: rel_1 and rel_2.
to display related entries I use

{related_entries id="rel_1"} ...

and to display reverse related entries I suppose to use

{reverse_related_entries id="rel_2"} But it has not id param…

So I need not display all of reverse related entries - both of fields rel_1 and rel_2 - only one field rel_2 I need

Are both fields relating posts from the same weblog?

Are both fields relating posts from the same weblog?

Yes (and I suppose to use multiple weblogs)

Just so I’m clear you have:

Weblog A with two relationship fields rel_1 and rel_2.  Both of these relationship fields are creating relationships to entries from Weblog B.

Then from the Weblog B perspective you want to pull reverse related entries, but only from one of the fields?

If that’s the case I think you are running into a limitation of the reverse related entries tag.  You can specify different weblogs to pull from but not specific fields.

That`s why I can`t understand why limitation of the reverse related entries tag is exist - I mean absent ID param 😊

You can always make a feature request…;)

But if you post more about what your goals are there might be a better way to solve it.

The goals

I have: webblog with entries which have among other things text field, which contains advertisement of this entry

I want: to place this ads on chosen entries

How I suppose to do it on publish page: for example using playa. When I publish entry (A) I can set entries (B & C) in playa field on which I want to advertise published entry (A).

To display on this entries (B & C) my ad of entry (A) I use:

{reverse_related_entries orderby="random" limit="1" weblog="myweblog"}
    {ad}
{/reverse_related_entries}

everything fine, BUT

I suppose to have simultaneously vice versa functionality.

I want on publish page for entry (B) to choose entry (A) in ANOTHER playa field for displaying entry`s (A) ad on entry`s (B) page.

I use:

{myplaya orderby="RAND()" limit="1" weblog="myweblog"}
    {ad}
{/myplaya}

wonderful, BUT
I do not need to display this relation in first case, that`s why I want to limit reverse related entries by the field in which I set this relation…

I’m not sure I’m quite following…but there should be no need to establish relationships twice between two entries. 

Assuming you choose entry B from a Playa field on Entry A’s publish form, you can:

-Display Entry B as an ad while displaying Entry A on the site -using the custom/playa field loop, or:
- Display Entray A as an ad while displaying Entry B - using a reverse related entries loop.
