How to show the relative objects in template?

I used this datatype in my class: eZObjectrelationbrowse - http://ez.no/developer/contribs/datatypes/ezobjectrelationbrowse_datatype

But I don't know how to display the link list in template.

I use attribute(show) and get only node_id list:

{foreach $node.data_map.relative_objects.content.relation_browse as $obj}
NODE_ID: {$obj.node_id}<br />
{/foreach}

I can fetch data: name and link of each node by using:

{foreach $node.data_map.relative_objects.content.relation_browse as $obj}
{def $my_node=fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_id', $obj.node_id ) )}
<a href={$my_node.url_alias|ezurl}>{$my_node.name|wash}</a>
{undef $my_node}
{/foreach}

but I don't think that this is the best way to do.

In technical manual talked about ezobject and eznode. But I don't know how to use.

Please help me!

Hi,
you don(t have access to the attribute

url_alias 

of an object relation so you have to use the main node.
so use this:

{foreach $node.data_map.relative_objects.content.relation_browse as $obj}


<a href={$obj.main_node.url_alias|ezurl}>{$obj.name|wash()}</a>


{/foreach}

i think this can help you.

good luck

The theory is when we know everything and nothing works.
The practice is when everything works and nobody knows why.
If the practice and theory are met, nothing works and we do not know why.

Hi Justin,

This is the attribute of each $obj

Attribute 	Type 	Value
identifier 	boolean 	false
priority 	string 	'9'
in_trash 	boolean 	false
contentobject_id 	string 	'892'
contentobject_version 	string 	'2'
node_id 	string 	'868'
parent_node_id 	string 	'124'
contentclass_id 	string 	'45'
contentclass_identifier 	string 	'news'
is_modified 	boolean 	false
contentobject_remote_id 	string 	'cf51ae7844a791ca07c2aaff667d73c9'

So I think there is no attribute main_node as you talked.

Because in ezpublish, we can link to eznode or ezobject. But it can be done in XML Block datatype (as when we compose content). The relatived objects are another datatype. I can use my method at the moment, but I'm looking for another better way.

Thanks you anyway!
