Object relations

Thursday 27 October 2005 3:15:56 am

Can someone provide a 'real world' example of using the object relation feature? I have read the Exponential book as well as the online docs. I don't quite understand how to put it to use.

If it's not obvious, I'm a new Exponential user. I'm building a website with eZ 3.7

Thank you,

Jason

Greetings Lukasz,

If I understand correctly, once I have a news article that is related to other news articles, I can use the template language to discover the relations and provide my users with a list of those relations.

Regards,

Jason

Hi,
the example explained above is very easy and nice,
Now i was trying to do fetching to all articles children of current node.
And if any of them has a related article attached to it, i want to show a link to it on the front page.

But I failed doing that.
here is my code

 {section var=a loop=$ar}
				      <h2><a href={$a.url_alias|ezurl}>{$a.name}</a></h2>
							<p><a href={$a.url_alias|ezurl}><img src={$a.data_map.folder_pic.content.medium.url|ezroot} width="95px" border="0" align="right" hspace="3px"></a>{$a.data_map.intro.content.output.output_text}</p>
			

					{let related_objects=$a.data_map.related_contentobject_array}
					 {section show=$related_objects}
		 			 <ul>
					 	{section name=ContentObject loop=$related_objects show=$related_objects}
							<li><a href={$ContentObject:item.main_node.url_alias|ezurl}>{$ContentObject:item.name}</a></li>
						{/section}
                      </ul>
                      {/let}
	
				 {/section}

Can any one help ?
