Playa 2.1.2

Playa
About that “ExpressionEngine 2” thing…

Playa is not yet compatible with ExpressionEngine 2, but once it is, all customers will receive a free upgrade. It should be ready by April 2010.

What is Playa?

Relationships in ExpressionEngine are a powerful tool. They enable you to link entries together, so you can avoid managing duplicate content. However, many find the built-in implementation to be inadequate due to its single-entry limitation.

Playa is a new fieldtype that takes relationships to the next level. It has become the go-to extension for relating entries in EE. Here’s why:

Multiple related weblogs

Fill up your Playa field with entries from whichever weblogs you wish.

Multiple, sortable selections

There’s no limit to the number of entries you can relate within a Playa field. And you have complete control over the order they’ll appear on your site.

Searchability

When you set your Playa field as searchable, related entries’ titles become search keywords in the parent entry.
