{exp:playa:coparents}

You can use the {exp:playa:coparents} tag pair to loop through entries that share a common child with other entries.

{exp:channel:entries}
    <h3>Similar entries to “{title}”</h3>
    <ul>
        {exp:playa:coparents}
            <li><a href="{path={channel_short_name}/{url_title}}">{title}</a></li>
        {/exp:playa:coparents}
    </ul>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Tag Parameters

{exp:playa:coparents} supports almost all of {exp:channel:entries}’ tag parameters, as well as the following:

entry_id
The main entry’s ID(s). If your tag is within an {exp:channel:entries} tag pair, this will default to the current entry’s ID.
coparent_id
The co-parent entry ID(s) to include. Prefix with “not ” to define entries to exclude instead.
child_id
The child entry ID(s) that the co-parents must have in common. Prefix with “not ” to define entries to exclude instead.
field
The Playa field’s name where the relationships were made, or the Matrix field’s name if your Playa field lives within a Matrix field.
field_id
The Playa field’s ID where the relationships were made, or the Matrix field’s ID if your Playa field lives within a Matrix field.
col
The Matrix column’s name where the relationships were made.
col_id
The Matrix column’s ID where the relationships were made.
row_id
The Matrix row’s ID where the relationships were made.
var_prefix
Tells Playa to only parse variables that have a certain prefix. This is handy when you’re dealing with variable name conflicts, such as if you’re pulling in an entry with its own Playa tag.

Note: By default, co-parents will be ordered by the number of common children they share with the original entry. You can override that with the orderby param.

Note: Playa sets the disable tag parameter to “categories|category_fields|member_data|pagination” by default. So if you want to display categories, member data, or pagination tags in your Playa tag pair, you’ll need to override that parameter.

Variable Tags

{exp:playa:coparents} supports almost all of {exp:channel:entries}’ conditional variables, single variables, and variable pairs, as well as the following:

{if no_coparents} … {/if}
Outputs the contents only when there are no co-parent entries returned.
