devot:eeDevoted to ExpressionEngine

You can nest the same tag multiple times, with different parameter prefixes on each level.

One of many uses for this is allowing exp:channel:entries tags to be nested inside of each other without the need for embeds.

Installation

 
• Add the vmg_nested folder to system/expressionengine/third_party
 
• Check that it shows in the control panel Plugins list

Usage

For best results, use the prefix=’‘ parameter to avoid collisions. You can use the other module or plugin tag as you normally would, but instead of starting the tag name {exp:, start it with {exp:vmg_nested:.

For instance, let’s say you want to nest an {exp:channel:entries} tag inside another one. Use the outside one as normal, and then inside use something like {exp:vmg_nested:channel_entries prefix=‘inner’} (with any prefix you’d like).

{exp:channel:entries channel="news"}
        {exp:vmg_nested:channel:entries channel="blog" prefix="blog"}
                {blog:title}
                {blog:entry_id}
                {blog:count}

                {if blog:no_results}{redirect="404"}{/if}
        {/exp:vmg_nested:channel:entries}

        {!-- Third Party Modules. All tag parameters from the original
                module tag can be used. --}

        {!-- Example: Solspace Tag. "marker" is one of the Tag module's parameters. --}
        {exp:vmg_nested:tag:entries prefix="tag_entry" marker="department"}
                {tag_entry:title}
                {tag_entry:url_title}
                {tag_entry:custom_field}
        {exp:vmg_nested:tag}

        {!-- Example: Profile:Edit module --}
        {exp:vmg_nested:profile:view member_id="{author_id}" prefix="author" parse="inward"}
                {author:title}
                {author:cf_profile_about_me}
                {exp:ce_img:single src="{author:cf_profile_image}" max_width="70" max_height="70"}
        {/exp:vmg_nested:profile:view}
{/exp:channel:entries}
