I have a relationship field where the parent can select multiple children from multiple channels. When it comes time to display everything, I need to know what channel the child entry comes from so I can display the proper fields.

I tried:

{parent}
{parent:channel_short_name} - <b>{parent:title}</b><br />
{/parent}

but no go. It literally just displays "{parent:channel_short_name}".

Any ideas? Just go get Playa?
Thanks
Amanda

Edit: Haha, yea never mind. I must have had a typo. It works fine.

This example in the docs suggests that your code should be:

{parents}
{parents:channel_short_name} - <b>{parents:title}</b><br />
{/parents}

Hopefully this helps.
