I’m putting events (from an event blog) on a calendar. Some of the events are actually workshops, and they have a link to a workshop blog with the description, pre-requisites, and so forth.

If the event has a link to a workshop, I’d like to use the event title as a heading. If the event is linked to a workshop, then I’d like to use the workshop’s title.

The code I’ve written works for workshop links, but when there’s no link, it just shows ‘{title}’.

Here’s my code:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="events" }
    {!-- If this entry is linked to a workshop, then use the workshop title, description, and body instead of the event fields. --}
    <h1>
        {related_entries id="event_workshop_link"}
            {if no_related_entries}
                {title}
            {/if}
            {title}
        {/related_entries}

mikec964,

Yes tags aren’t going to parse within that conditional. Try the following method though and let us know if that works for you

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="events" }
    {!-- If this entry is linked to a workshop, then use the workshop title, description, and body instead of the event fields. --}
    <h1>
{if event_workshop_link =='0'}
{title}
{if:else}
        {related_entries id="event_workshop_link"}
            {title}
        {/related_entries}
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

That works!

I don’t have enough cred to post this as a comment on the docs page, but your reply taught me two things that might be useful to the next person:

1) You can use {if the_relation_field =='0'} to test to see if the_relation_field is populated

2) No tags are parsed inside the {if no_related_entries} conditional

Thanks again!

Glad John was able to help. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
