Trouble with "templates"

    I’m just starting to work with Pods and I have a very basic question. I’ve been going through the Tutorials and I’ve created a simple Pod called “residents” with several Custom fields. I’ve activated the “Templates” component and created a template called “Resident Details Template”. I’ve created 2 “residents” posts and they show up fine in the “Resident Details Template”.

    Now I’m trying to create a page that lists all my “residents”. To do that. I create a new page, click the “Pods Shortcode” button in the editor, choose “List Multiple Pods Items”, “resident”, “Resident Details Template”. The line that shows up is

    [pods name="resident" template="Resident Details Template"]

    Nothing shows up on the page. I tried putting AAA in front of it and BBB behind it to make sure the page itself is working

    AAA[pods name="resident" template="Resident Details Template"]BBB

    and the output is

    AAABBB

    Why aren’t I getting my 2 residents to show?

    Thanks … Jeff

    What are the contents of your ‘Resident Details Template’? That pretty much will be the determining factor as to if anything will show on your Page with the shortcode above.

    Also try adding a limit=”-1″ to the shortcode, though that shouldn’t be necessary.

    I’ve simplified it so that the only thing in the template is {@first_name}.
    The shortcode is [pods name="resident" template="Resident Index" limit="-1"].

    My Detail listing works fine if I’m only displaying one entry. But it doesn’t work if I use it to "List Multiple Pod Items".

    I’ve tried 2 different templates … one for “Resident Details” and one for “Resident Index”.

    I THINK (but I have to try this again that creating a different Pod worked fine (naming it “Res2” instead of “Resident”. But deleting the “Resident” Pod and creating a new “Resident” Pod (using the same name) also caused the same issue. But I need to try all that again to verify that. Do you think the items defined with the Resident Pod could somehow be corrupted? Since this a test site, I’m thinking about refreshing it and starting over. But I want to make sure you don’t want me to send you anything in case there’s a bug in the system you should be aware of.

    Sounds like you may have a corrupted installation, because what you’re saying should work. if you have multiple records, it should list them all in one shortcode. That’s easier to test just using something like this:

    [pods name="resident" limit="-1"]{@post_title} - {@first_name}[/pods]

    Refreshing is never a bad idea, but try going into Pods Admin, Settings, Clear Cache first.
