I am using the Many to Many plugin and wondering if the below is possible.

I have a channel called Model ID. Model ID is then related to two other sections, Memory and SSD. I want to be able to link entries from Memory to entries in SSD via the Many To Many Field within Model ID.

Below is a picture, edited, to show the field layout and the information I have within the Model ID entry. The information within the entry is what I need to pull in to my Memory and SSD section but can not figure it out.

I feel like I am missing something very simple that might not be in the read me document for the plugin.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks John

  • Your issue can't be solved by this code? github.com/page-8/craft-manytomany/blob/master/… you can use this field like every other relation field in Craft.

  • The code there works just fine but links me to the Model ID, not to Memory or SSD section. I really feel like its an easy solution that I am not just understanding or seeing via templating.

  • Uhm.. So you didn't try to just grab the field value and query for the related elements {% set ssd = entry.fieldHandle.all() %} replace fieldHandle with the handle of the specific field. It will return an array of elements. Is that what you are looking for?

  • I am trying this but no luck - {% set modelIDs = entry.memoryModelIds %} {% for modelID in modelIDs.all() %} {% set ssd = modelID.relationshipsSsd.all() %} {% for product in ssd%} {{ product.title }} - {{ product.url }} {% endfor %} {% endfor %}

  • I am currently in the Memory section trying to access information from the Model ID section. Here is the code I use to pull in the Model ID title: {% set modelIDs = entry.memoryModelIds %} {% for modelID in modelIDs.all() %} <li>{{ modelID.title }}</li> {% endfor %}

So, if I understand you correctly, you're trying to use the Model IDs channel as a middle man? If so, I think you would just need two steps:

To get all SSDs from a Memory Entry

{% set modelIDs = craft.entries.section('MODEL ID SECTION HANDLE').relatedTo(entry).ids() %}
{% set ssds     = craft.entries.section('SSDS SECTION HANDLE').relatedTo(modelIDs).all() %}

To get all Memory from an SSD Entry

{% set modelIDs = craft.entries.section('MODEL ID SECTION HANDLE').relatedTo(entry).ids() %}
{% set memory   = craft.entries.section('MEMORY SECTION HANDLE').relatedTo(modelIDs).all() %}
