Stash get_list set_list

Question

I have a page where i want to output some quotes from certain channel within an other entries tag.

It seems to work sofar but stash is outputting the same entry over again, i wanted to use get_list for the unique parameter.

Thanks for your time and effort

Here is my code:

     {exp:channel:entries channel="ffq" status="open"}
            {exp:stash:set_list name="quotes"} 
            {stash:quote}{textarea}{/stash:quote} 
            {/exp:stash:set_list}
        {/exp:channel:entries}


         {exp:channel:entries channel="story" orderby="random" category="4" status="open|featured"}
          {other ee stuff}

{if count % 2 == 0}
               {exp:stash:get_list name="quotes" unique="yes"}
                    {quote}
               {/exp:stash:get_list}
{/if}
     {/exp:channel:entries}

I believe it's outputting the same thing over and over as you've only captured the last 'quote' – you are capturing inside the {exp:channel…} tag. So every time EE returns another entry, you are overwriting the last entry. Try instead:

{exp:stash:set_list name="quotes" trim="yes' parse_tags="yes"} 
    {exp:channel:entries channel="ffq" status="open"}
        {stash:quote}{textarea}{/stash:quote} 
    {/exp:channel:entries}
{/exp:stash:set_list}

This should at least give you multiple quotes.

As for {exp:stash:get_list} what you have currently will output all unique quotes and not just unique quotes every 2 iterations. To achieve that will require some thought as you'd likely have use a combination of offset, limit & slice.

UPDATE

{exp:channel:entries channel="story" orderby="random" category="4" status="open|featured"}
{other ee stuff}

{if count % 2 == 0}
    {exp:stash:get_list 
        name="quotes"
        limit="2" //Limit to 2 Quotes
        offset="{count}" //Your outer count will be 2/4/6/8/etc so we offset the get_list by the same amount.
    }
        {quote}
    {/exp:stash:get_list}
{/if}

{/exp:channel:entries}

Obviously you'll encounter issues if you only on want one quote every 2 outer loops as we're using the outer count but them's the breaks !
