How to tell is a grid field is being used inside a relationship tag?
How Do I?
This is probably a very easy one (it’s 6.30 on friday so I’m running on empty), but is there a consistent way to test if a grid field is being used inside a relationship tag - somethnig simple (in my case, if video show it if else image)
IE:
{relationship_field}
{if relationship_field:grid_field_has_content}<!-- << what works here??? -->
<!-- video code here -->
{if:else}
{relationship_field:image_file_field}
{/if}
{/relationship_field}I know it’s filthy but I have this working with an embed for now.
{relationship_field}
{embed='inc/the_grid_stuff' embed_entry_id="{relationship_field:entry_id}"}
{/relationship_field}
but I’m sure there’s a more performant way…?
I have noticed a difference sometimes between {if my_grid} and {if mygrid != ""} - can’t say why this works/doesn’t work.
I have done similar to your solution using an embed, it works. On one site I had a relationship field referencing 5 entries in 7 different channels, and each entry had it’s own (complex) display requirements, an embed for each channel got it working and the overhead was minimal..
Thanks, I’ll try the latter, see if it works…
