Asset with related entry field in Matrix block

Question

I have an Asset source "Image link gallery" with two custom fields for each Asset: "image title" (text field) & "Image link" (Entries field - can link to multiple sources).

I have a Matrix block "Image link Gallery" with an Assets field "Images" which selects from this Asset source.

I want to be be able to select a bunch of images and return the image, title, and link to the entry.

{% for imageItem in block.images %}
    <a href="{{ imageItem.imageLink.uri }}">
        <img src="{{ imageItem.url }}" alt="">
        <span>{{ imageItem.imageTitle }}</span>
    </a>
{% endfor %}

This is returning all the images and titles but no links.

Where am I going wrong?

Answer 1

You said it yourself, the problem is that an Entries field can link to multiple targets. So it is an array of Entry Models you're given here, or more correctly, an ElementCriteriaModel.

To get the first linked entry's Url, all you have to change is to add the first method.

<a href="{{ imageItem.imageLink.first().url }}">

But you said multiple links are allowed, so to show them all go through them in a loop.

{% for imageItem in block.images %}
    {% for linkedEntry in imageItem.imageLink %}
        <a href="{{ linkedEntry.url }}">
            <img src="{{ imageItem.url }}" alt="">
            <span>{{ imageItem.imageTitle }}</span>
        </a>
    {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
