Hi all
I cant seem to figure out how to display related objects using an object-relation list.
That is I want to disply the content of reated object in an article, where these objects are either reated within the object relation list or linked from existing objects, and i want it displayed as a part of the current page.
i've found a way to do it hardcoding into the current class' templates, but its ugly.. I'd preffer to user attribute_view_gui or similar, but i cant figure out what to feed as attribute.
Obviously they are not treated as children of the current object, wich would have made it painless, but I see why they are not.
Any ideas?

Hi Bjørn,
You can view list of related objects to article using attribute_view_guiFor example:
{*img_list is object relation list*} {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.img_list}
Look also into design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezobjectrelationlist.tpl to see how it works.

Hi
Are you saying that a list of related object always will be found in img_list regardless of object class?

img_list is the name of his attribute. You must use yours.

Obviously :) The attribute dumps were quite a lot to read through.
tnx guys.

And btw, when you include as mentioned over, wich template is used? It does not seem to use the "full" template in my case, I only get a title listing... (i figured this one out.. using "embed" seemed logical, and was, as most of eZ is :>)
That worked ok, but what if the object is just added as a related object? Not in an object relation list, and hence with no name?

I've used object relation list as a way to relate articles. What I found was that when two articles both were related to each other, eZ somehow got a hickup and messed up the whole relation-list.
Ex.: Article_1 have Article_2 in its object relation listAritlce_2 have Article_1 in its object relation list
Have you tested your solution for this?
