relatedentriesautomation plugin for Craft CMS 3.x
=================================================

[](#relatedentriesautomation-plugin-for-craft-cms-3x)

Provides a field specify selection criteria for providing related entries

Using with templates
--------------------

[](#using-with-templates)

Calling the field by itself will return an object that defines the query criteria for finding related entries. To turn this raw data into a set of useful entries you have to pass it into a filter service function that can build a real-time query and return a list of entity ids for related entries. The easyist way to do that is to use the `craft.relatedentriesautomation.buildEnityQuery()` function.

```
{% set entryIds = craft.relatedentriesautomation.buildEnityQuery(block.sourceCriteria) %}
{% set relatedEntries = craft.entries(entryIds).visibility('not  hidden') %}
```

`relatedEntries` contains a list of entries you can iterate over using `{% for entry in relatedEntries %}` or a similar twig function.

debuging output in templates
----------------------------

[](#debuging-output-in-templates)

It's possible to outut the SQL that's used to fetch the result set to the page.

```
{% set queryinfo = craft.relatedentriesautomation.filterEntries(block.sourceCriteria) %}
{% set entryIds = craft.relatedentriesautomation.entityQueryWithIds(queryinfo.result) %}
{{ queryinfo | json_encode(constant('JSON_PRETTY_PRINT')) }}
{% set relatedEntries = craft.entries(entryIds).visibility('not  hidden') %}
```
