Playa field type on a matrix field
Development and Programming
I am trying to set up a matrix field, that will pull back the list of related items on a particular web blog. I have my fields set up and the data populated, but for the life of me, the contents of the playa field are not coming back.
{list-attorneys}
{if total_rows > 0}
{if row_count==1}
<h2>{att-type} Attorneys</h2>
{/if}
{att-name}{title}{url_title}{/att-name}
{/if}
{/list-attorneys}
I am not seeing anything in the {att-name} which is my playa field type within this matrix, and if I edit the content I can see it.
Are you running the latest versions of Playa and Matrix? There were some bugs a few versions back that would cause trouble if column / custom field / custom field groups had the same name. IIRC, the hacky fix was changing the name of the custom fields in question to something like “att-name-playa.”
I’m not familiar with the requirements of this particular situation, but, it might not be unreasonable to assign categories to the various attorneys and do your filtering that way…
