Using Playa parent_ids tag with Low Events

Daniel Howells 18 Apr 2013 11:58 question, complete

I need to get all the parents of an entry, but order them by the end date/time. I hoped this would work:

 
 {exp:low_events:entries dynamic="off" channel="events" orderby="low_events:end" sort="asc" entry_id="{exp:playa:parent_ids channel='events'}"} 
   {if count == 1} 
   <!-- events --> 
   <li><a href="{path='events'}" class="header">Events</a> 
    <ul>{/if} 
     <li><a href="{path='events/show/{entry_id}/{url_title}'}">{exp:low_widont}{title}{/exp:low_widont}</a></li> 
    {if count == total_results}</ul> 
   </li> 
   <!-- .events -->{/if} 
   {/exp:low_events:entries}

   Using a tag as another tag's parameter value is tricky. You could try to add parse="inward" to the low_events:entries tag, or use an embed:
   
   

   {embed="group/tmpl" entry_ids="{exp:playa:parent_ids channel='events'}"}

   
   
   ...and then use {embed:entry_ids} inside the group/tmpl template where you keep the low_events:entries tag.

   Okay great I think that did the trick - thanks.
