Loop through related section's entries

Question

I have two sections: games publishers

For example, a games entry title would be "Mario Brothers" and a publishers entry title would be "Nintendo"

On the entry page for Nintendo, I want to display all games (entries) they published.

The "_entry,html" page for publishers right now only has the following code:

{% extends "_layout" %}

{% block content %}
    <article>
        <h1>{{ entry.title }}</h1>      
        {{ entry.body }}
    </article>
{% endblock %}

So I know I need to add it after:

</article>

In the games section, I have a field called "GamePublishers" set to type Entries. So I assign the publisher of a game via the admin cp. Wasn't sure if I need to also setup a field type entries in GamePublishers to reference to Games section. (If that makes sense)

Thanks

Answer 1

Wasn't sure if I need to also setup a field type entries in GamePublishers to reference to Games section.

Not necessary if you already have a "GamePublishers" Entry field in the "Games" section.

Something like this should work:

{% set games = craft.entries.section('games').relatedTo(publisher) %}

That's assuming you've already got a variable named publisher defined that's referencing the current publisher the user is viewing.

I'd suggest reading through the relations docs as well. Craft has a pretty powerful relations engine you can do all sorts of crazy stuff with.

Think I finally got it. Here is my code.

{% extends "_layout" %}

{% block content %}
    <article>
        <h1>{{ entry.title }}</h1>      
        {{ entry.body }}
    </article>

    <h2>Games</h2>

    {% set entries = craft.entries.section('games').relatedTo(entry) %}

    <ul>
        {% for entry in entries.order('title') %}
            <li><a href="{{ entry.url }}">{{ entry.title }}</a>{% if entry.GamesGenre is not empty %} ({% for category in entry.GamesGenre %}{{ category.title }}{% endfor %}){% endif %}</li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>

{% endblock %}
