Hi everyone, I have an issue I am wrestling with. I have section of a website that is broken down into products group by product lines. In another section of the site I pull in product documentation related to those products

{exp:channel:entries channel="products_detail" disable="categories|member_data|pagination" dynamic="no" sort="asc"}
    <li>
     {title}
     <ul>
       {offline_product_documentation}
       <li>
        <a href="http://{offline_file_upload}">{product_number}</a>
       </li>
       {/offline_product_documentation}
     </ul>  
     <ul>
      {online_product_documentation}
      <li>
       <a href="http://{online_file_upload}">{online_product_number}</a><br> 
      </li>
      {/online_product_documentation}
     </ul>
    </li>
    {/exp:channel:entries}

I am wondering if there is a way to display the parent product that each is grouped under. This visualization might help:
- Product Line A
- - Product 1
>>>>Product Document
>>>>Product Document
>>>>Product Document
>>>>Product Document

- - Product 2
>>>>Product Document
>>>>Product Document

- - Product 3
>>>>Product Document

Product 1, 2 and 3 each have their own entry. I would like to pull in all of the docs grouped under Product Line and then Product name. Everything is working save for the Product Line being output on the page.

Is this possible? Please let me know if I can clarify any part of this.

Thanks,
Nathan

Hi nhinshaw,

It sounds like you want use ExpressionEngine Relationships.

With Relationships, you identify a field in one Channel as a relationship field type. You select the Channel that you want to “relate to”.

When you create or edit an entry in the first channel, you choose from a list of entries in the second channel. Those 2 entries are now “related”.

Read over the User Guide on Relationships. I’ll be happy to answer any new questions you might have!

I look forward to your reply!

Cheers,
