{exp:playa:parents}

You can use the {exp:playa:parents} tag pair to loop through entries that relate a given entry(s).

{exp:channel:entries channel="photos"}
    <h3>As Seen in Articles</h3>
    <ul>
    {exp:playa:parents channel="articles"}
        <li><a href="{path={channel_short_name}/{url_title}}">{title}</a></li>
    {/exp:playa:parents}
    </ul>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Tag Parameters

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

entry_id
The child entry’s ID(s). If your tag is within an {exp:channel:entries} tag pair, this will default to the current entry’s ID.
parent_id
The parent entry ID(s) to include. Prefix with “not” to define entries to exclude instead.
field
The Playa field’s name where the relationship was 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 relationship was made, or the Matrix field’s ID if your Playa field lives within a Matrix field.
col
The Matrix column’s name where the relationship was made.
col_id
The Matrix column’s ID where the relationship was made.
row_id
The Matrix row’s ID where the relationship was 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: 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:parents} supports almost all of {exp:channel:entries}’ conditional variables, single variables, and variable pairs, as well as the following:

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