Low Variable (Playa) output category and entry Playa children

stevieg_83 5 Mar 2015 15:34 question, complete

Hey Low,
I have a Low Variable that is a Playa field and I'm looking to output the category of the channel entry and also show the Playa children of the main entry.

Code snippet looks like https://gist.github.com/914e550b3c7ec...

Standard things output, title, entry id and even the Playa children but not the category. Also, adding the Playa children is causing the excerpt not to output either.

What am I missing?

   P&T note:
   
   

   Note: Playa sets the disable tag parameter to “categories|category_fields|member_data|pagination” by default. So if you want to display categories, member data, or pagination tags in your Playa tag pair, you’ll need to override that parameter.

   
   
   ...so try overriding the disable="" param.

   ah, yeah.
   
   can't understand why the nested playa:children doesn't work as well as simply calling {article_byline var_prefix="author" backspace="1"}{author:title} and {/article_byline}
   
   all set :)
