EE packs a powerful mechanism for relating entries to one another. But when the built-in implementation shows its seams, Playa takes it to the next level.
Relate Multiple Entries
Playa’s intuitive Drop Panes interface enables you to select as many entries as you wish, in whichever order you like. All from a single field!
Set the Ground Rules
Dictate exactly which types of entries are allowed to be related – the channels they must belong to, their categories, authors, and statuses. You can even limit them to just the newest or oldest. And order them by title or date, in ascending or descending order.
Live Filters
Sifting through hundreds – or even thousands – of entries is a breeze with Playa 3’s live filters. Choose to filter your entries by keywords, weblog, author, category, and status.
Choose the Right UI for the Task at Hand
For the times when Playa’s Drop Panes interface is a bit overkill, we give you the option of toning it down to a simple drop-down list or multi-select. Either way, you’ll still have Playa’s full range of templating features at your disposal.
Matrix Integration
Save information about the nature of your relationships by using Playa within a Matrix field.
Rich Templating
Take complete control over your template output with Playa’s comprehensive template tags and parameters.

Hooks Used
If the add-on is an extension, and ties into ExpressionEngine's core files, it will use ExpressionEngine hooks. We are listing any hooks the add-on uses for developers to have an easier time locating other add-ons that they can reference for their own work.

One of the best add-ons I’ve ever come across for ExpressionEngine. I can’t imagine creating a website without Playa. It enables us to create multiple relationships between hundreds of entries through it’s slick interface. Also, the filter options and the ability to search entries is spot on.

Love the power this adds to EE – had problems with caching issues, not sure if it is the add-on itself or my EE install, either way a must have.

Utterly exquisite in both concept and execution.

Absolutely superb add-on for ExpressionEngine. Simply awesome for setting up complex relationships between multiple weblogs in a simple and easy to use manner.

This is one of the most important and useful EE add-ons. It’s used all over devot:ee.
It can be used for so many things – basic entry relation, creating subnav, etc. You can get real creative with it. Good stuff.
