Playa data not displaying

Question

I have recently come across an issue on a site I'm working on. The problem is that a Playa field doesn't seem to be displaying a related entry title. Normally I have no issue whatsoever with Playa tags so this has me stumped.

Here is the opening channel tag

{exp:channel:entries channel="courses" dynamic="on" limit="8" disable="member_data"
    status="not closed"
    paginate="bottom" paginate_base="{language_prefix}/courses/category/{segment_3}"} 

This channel contains

• An image (file field)
• Title
• Category (using the {categories} tag)
• A short abstract (text area)

and also a related venue field (using Playa) coded as the following

{course_related_venue disable="member_data"}{title}1{/course_related_venue} 

This is followed by pagination and then the closing {/exp:channel:entries}.

Is there something obvious that I'm missing that would cause the Playa field data to not display. It seems that anything inside the Playa tag just isn't being recognized, even if I hardcode something inside there.

Can someone maybe shed some light on this?

*and in case it helps, this is on a category page so has a url of /courses/category/C6/

Answer 1

Can I ask you to create a totally new template. Put nothing but this in it:

 {exp:channel:entries channel="courses" dynamic="on" limit="8" disable="member_data" status="not closed"} 
<h1>{title}</h1>
    {course_related_venue}<strong>course_related_venue:</strong> {title}{/course_related_venue}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Make sure you're pulling up an entry on that template that has at least one child. Do you get any data out of that?

Thanks!
