When using this json addon in a template, it outputs just fine. However, when I try to call that template using embed into another template, it ends up as 

'[]'

My setup is similar to this:

template/json
{exp:json:entries channel="resources"...}

template/main
{exp:channel:entries}
...stuff
{embed="template/json"}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Any ideas on what is going on?

  • Do you need to embed the entry ID or anything like that?

  • I've tested with your example and it works fine for me, though I'm assuming it's just a typo in your code example where you have a : instead of a = in the embed tag?

  • Typo was in my example, but my template code is fine. After a little bit more testing, it embeds and renders correctly in other templates, but not the one I need it to render on. Strange.

Found out through some more testing that it is a strange bug with how templates are being routed.

The json outputs fine on a page when seeing the rendered directly from the template.

However, when the page rendered through a page, this is when it fails.

Could not find a fix so far, but a workaround so far is to ajax in the json instead of directly embedding it on a page.

Probably need a dynamic="no" on your json tag.
