Playa field within a matrix field - duplicate results

Question

There is a probably a very simple fix to this issue, however, I can't wrap my head around it. So I have a playa field (embedded) within a matrix field like so:

{call_out_section}
      {embed="projects/related_projects" row_count="{row_count}" xpos="{xpos}" ypos="{ypos}"} 
{/call_out_section}

embed:

  {exp:playa:children field="select_project" status="not closed"}
<a href="#" class="call_{embed:row_count}">{title} {embed:xpos}, {embed:ypos} </a><br />
{/exp:playa:children}

The result of this is:

Window Boxes 100, 100 

Dining Room Table 100, 100 

Window Boxes 200, 200 

Dining Room Table 200, 200 

I've tried adding a limit="1" on {call_out_section} and on the playa:children. The former will only return a single title and the latter returns a single pair of x/y coordinates. Any thoughts here?

Answer 1

The result tells me that this entry has 2 children (Window Boxes and Dining Room) and that its field call_out_section has 2 rows (100 and 200). So, everything is right. 2 × 2 = 4!

But, as you said on chat, selected_project is also a column of call_out_section. So, you can use the Field tags of Playa, instead of exp:playa:children, that is another module with another parse, etc, etc...

So, try this:

{call_out_section}
  {select_project status="not closed" var_prefix="project"}<a href="#" class="call_{row_count}">{project:title} {xpos}, {ypos}</a><br />{/select_project}
{/call_out_section}

The strange part is that the parameter var_prefix isn't currently on docs of Field Tags.
