Required Parameters

entry_ids=”...”

A pipe- or comma-delimited list of entry IDs.

parse=“inward”

This is required for the plugin to parse in the correct order.

Optional Parameters

Accepts all of Asset’s (http://pixelandtonic.com/assets/docs/templates), plus:

fields=”...”

A pipe- or comma-delimited list of fields that the lookup should be _limited_ to.

Prefix with not to exclude fields.

The format of each field is: channel_name:field_name, and in the case of a Matrix column, channel_name:field_name:column_name.

Usage Examples

Basic

{exp:many_assets entry_ids="420|1976|2011" parse="inward"}
 ...
{/exp:many_assets}

Exclude custom field

{exp:many_assets entry_ids="420|1976|2011" fields="not page:cf_leading_image" parse="inward"}
  ...
 {/exp:many_assets}

Limit to field name & matrix col

{exp:many_assets entry_ids="420|1976|2011" fields="page:cf_page_slideshow|page:cf_page_matrix:file" parse="inward"}
  ...
 {/exp:many_assets}
