Hi all

I posted a message on this a short time back, but never got it working. I need to fetch the object contained in an ezobjectrelation, so that I can obtain specific attributes in that object. I don't think that it works at all like an ezobjectrelationlist.

Thanks
Jason

Forget about the database.

Fetch the object and then use it's attributes in your code, not the other way around.

Regards,

Hi James

Fetching the object and refering to its attributes is exactly what I want to do. But how exactly do I do this?

Thanks
Jason

I think this might help you:

In your template write {$object_you_just_fetched|attribute(show)}

Will show you all the attributes available for that object, for example if you saw something like

data_map array
>name string

then your object would have attributes called data_map (an array) and name (a string inside data_map)

so you could call name with:

{$your_object_name.data_map.name}

see http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/customization/custom_design/template_variables_set_by_ezpublish there's more documentation on this as well, I'd scan through the "building an Exponential site tutorial"

Regards.

Hi James

Yes, I know about that part of it. My question is how exactly do you fetch that object? I'm working with an object that has content.data_map.my_relation_object (for example). How do I fetch the actual object in my_relation_object?

Thanks
Jason

Thanks for the help James. The final result - for anyone interested - can be found here:
