{exp:channel:entries}
{exp:playa:parents}
{title} returns title from the entry
{/exp:playa:parents}
{/exp:channel:entries}
If I remove the {exp:channel:entries} tag pair, then the playa returns the correct data. However, I need info from the entry and then I want to loop through all the parents in another channel.
In this case, think of the entry as a product, and then return all the FAQs about that product. The relationship is made on the FAQ not the product.
It sounds like, although it's not entirely clear how your relationship is defined, is that you're just coming at it from the wrong end of the relationship. If the entry is a product and the relationship is defined in this entry to FAQ pages then you need to be calling the children of this entry rather than the parent.
Parent: The entry that has the Playa field.
Child: The entry that you selected in the Playa field.
Have you tried {exp:playa:children} instead of parent?
{exp:playa:children} for shoots and ladders - no dice.

{exp:channel:entries channel="faqs"} for the Channel Entries tag (the parent). Then {exp:playa:parents channel="products"} for the children?

{exp:playa:total_parents}, it returns 8 - it should return 1 according to the DB. Where parent_entry_id = this entry, it has 1 child.

channelparameter to yourplaya:parentstag? – Derek Hogue♦ Apr 11 '13 at 21:33{exp:channel:entries channel="products" limit="1" url_title="{last_segment}"}{exp:playa:parents channel="faqs"}– Ryan Shrum Apr 11 '13 at 21:37{exp:playa:parents}tag to return the correct number of entries by addingchild_id="{entry_id}"to the tag pair (still with in channel entries loop), however it is still returning the title from the channel:entries loop.{parent:title}and{child:title}return as strings not as the variable. – Ryan Shrum Apr 12 '13 at 18:12
