Early parsed playa variable to be used for the value in the entry_id channel parameter?
Low,
I'm trying to give my client access to order/show certain entries on the product home page w/o me having to hard code the entry id's. So, I created a Playa variable that allows them to add/order entries. Currently this renders nothing when use as a value in the entry_id parameter:
{exp:channel:entries
channel="category_images"
disable="categories|category_fields|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"
dynamic="no"
entry_id="{exp:low_variables:parse var="lv_product_home_listing" preparse:entry_id=""}{entry_id}|{/exp:low_variables:parse}"
require_entry="yes"
orderby="title"
sort="asc"
}

In this case, you're probably better off using the Select Entries variable type, as that can save the entry ids as a pipe separated list. Then you can just use the variable syntax in the parameter: fixed_order="{lv_product_home_listing}"
Oh, and the preparse: parameter is only available for Textarea variable types.

Thanks for the clarification. I don't know what I didn't use that in the first place. Re: preparse: parameter, that was just leftover from me trying to get it to work, but good to know! ;)
