One of the main templates on my site, the product page, has a single products channel entry, and up to 3 playa children (also products). I'm trying to get the categories for playa children. Here's my test code:
{exp:channel:entries channel="products" limit="1" status="open|wide|feature|glory"}
<h1>Main Product: {title}</h1>
{exp:playa:children field="also_like" status="open|wide"}
<h1><a href="{title_permalink='site/product'}">{title}</a></h1>
<div class="age">Age: {categories show_group="5" limit="1" note="age range"}{category_name}{/categories}</div>
<div class="environ">Env: {categories show_group="6" limit="1" note="environment"}{category_name}{/categories}</div>
{/exp:playa:children}
{/exp:channel:entries}
Another page manages to display the categories, but it's directly from the channel:entries tag, rather than going through the playa:children.
Any help appreciated.
