I had code that was working perfectly until I upgraded to 2.6.x - now my conditional statement is not working.
Before, this worked in 2.5.5:

{exp:channel:entries channel="sliders" orderby="slider_order" sort="asc"}
  {if slider_event_link}
    {related_entries id="slider_event_link"}<a href="http://{path=">{/related_entries}_  {if:elseif slider_page_link}<a href="{slider_page_link}">{/if}_  {slider_image}_  {if slider_event_link OR slider_page_link}</a>{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Upon upgrade I now have this, which I understand but is not recognizing my IF statement.  This runs but only outputs the Image tags - I’ve checked the relationship field and made sure it’s populated:

{exp:channel:entries channel="sliders" orderby="slider_order" sort="asc"}
  {if slider_event_link}
    {slider_event_link}<a href="http://{path=">{/slider_event_link}_  {if:elseif slider_page_link}<a href="{slider_page_link}">{/if}_  {slider_image}_  {if slider_event_link OR slider_page_link}</a>{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Is there a better way to do what I’m doing?  I need the condition - I only want to show the link on the image if there if there is a value in the other field.

Also, I noticed that some code was stripped out and this forum won’t let me copy it into this textarea field - see the screenshot for what I really have in my template.
Thanks.

I just noticed that I have 2 different fieldtypes in my Add-On section of EE.
“Relationship” version 1.0 is shown by not installed / activated.
“Relationships” version 1.0 is shown and installed / activated.

Is one of these obsolete? Should they both be in use?  What’s the difference?

Edit: per this blog post (http://ellislab.com/blog/entry/relationships-evolved-for-expressionengine-2.6) I’m not worrying about the fieldtypes - it looks like all my current relationships were updated without any issues but my problem still persists - the data is there but I can’t get to it with a conditional.

Hi thejame,

I had the same thing, where “Relationship” and “Relationships” both existed in my Add-Ons > Fieldtypes. This happened because the folder system/expressionengine/fieldtypes/rel existed, which was carried over from my previous EE install. That folder looks like it’s no longer needed unless you have fields referencing the old “Relationship” field, and is the source for “Relationship” being there. It was actually causing PHP undefined variable notices while installed, so I uninstalled it then deleted that folder, now it’s gone completely.

Relationships seem to be consolidated into the “Relationships” fieldtype.

I’m looking for relationships conditionals in a channel:entries loop, as well.

Thanks, that confirms that we both have a problem.  There is definitely something going on with Relationships and how they show up under other channels.

I did find this thread and will try the suggestion:
