David Syers	Monday 13 October 2003 10:05:45 am Hi there alans How have you setup the related objects in the about page? Did you just browse for related objects, or did you also copy the <object id='xx' /> code which appears next to the object into the XML field? If you didn't then it will not show up. As default the object will show up as a link, but you can control how they are displayed by modifying: template/content/view/embed.tpl Also note that related objects only work through the XML field.

I did copy the id code for the object to get a link at the bottom but the embed template is what I am looking for. I also found doing a general search on the site and forums produced really useful info and I was able to target my questions and get answers rather than reading thru the tons of documents. I have found EZPublish really intimidating in th past but as I am longer in the tooth I am ready to wrestle with it a bit more now. Scary theme code though - extremely off putting for the non-programming users..... Oh and I am not sue I understand "Also note that related objects only work through the XML field." What does that mean? cheers alans
