How to display related objects on a custom template ?

Hi Xavier,

I found a solution to display related objects - go to
design/user/override/templates/content/view
and you will see "embed" templates there. Put your own template embed_class_5.tpl where 5=id of related object class. I used line_class_5.tpl copy to start with, and it worked.

How do you add related objects to master object? In my installation data entry does not work - I select an object that I want to attach as related, but when press "Send for publishing" it says "Input does not validate". I had to use XML-text data field instead of related object, and paste <object> tag there (embed_ template works for this solution).

Cheers!

Sergey
