display the related object of a related object

Hello David

I haven't worked much with related objects before so I cannot give you any direct help. ut But generally you can use the attribute function to find out more about an object.
So in your first foreach just use an
{$related_object|attribute('show', 1)} to get a table of the direct attributes of this object. (Increasing the number in the second argument will give you more information as it shows the attributes of each attribute as well, read the docu for this operator)
Then you can access these attributes by calling $related_object.<name of the respective attribute>.

Using this approach you will most likely see that the object id you need is stored in $related_object.id.
In fact an contenobject does not have any attribute content_info, this is only for the moduele_result variable (which you should have see in the debug info so please check there the next time first).

Another good idea to find out which attributes hold what type of data is to check the documentation. The docu for contentobjects is here
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/objects/ezcontentobject

So at the end I assume that you just have to replace

$related_object.content_info.object_id

with

$related_object.id

If that does help you to solve your problem post again, then I will check properly how to do what you want.

Thanks Claudia but

$related_object.id

Doesn't return anything either.

I will take a look at working out how to create a view also.

Thanks for your persistent assistance

Hello David

I tried it now and it looks like there is already something strange going on in the first fetch.
I tried this for the first fetch (the 71 is my test object):

{def $inner_related_objects = ''
     $related_objects=fetch( 'content', 'related_objects', hash( 'object_id', 71))}
{foreach $related_objects as $related}
 {$related.name}<br />
 {set $inner_related_objects = fetch( 'content', 'related_objects', hash( 'object_id', $related.id,
                                                                           'all_relations', true()))}
 {foreach $inner_related_objects as $inner_related}
  {$inner_related|attribute('show', 2)}
 {/foreach}
{/foreach}

If $related.id is empty in your case you seem not to fetch an object which is pretty strange. So make sure that you do not have a typo in there somewhere. Please note that in the code above I had to use 'all_relations', true() in the inner fetch as I used a different type of relation there.
