I am a channel called products

I need to relate a product to other products

I edit the product say PRODUCT 1 and assign 5 other products to be related to that product PRODUCT 2 PRODUCT 3 PRODUCT 4 PRODUCT 5 PRODUCT 6

Is it possible that when I go to edit one of the related products PRODUCT 2 that its know its related to PRODUCT 1 and it will be displayed/selected in the playa field automatically?

Thanks

  • It sounds to me like you need a higher level of abstraction - possibly categories. Would it make sense to categorise your products into groups?

  • Its fine I think we can manage with the standard multi select field in the publish section. Regarding categories I dont think this will work as we are relating products to a products similar to upsell, cross sell, related products on an e-commerce site

What you're describing is reverse relationships. Playa has no such field for the publish page, but it is possible to get the reverse relationship in the templates with the {exp:playa:parents} tag.
