    <p>Here's basically what I want to accomplish:</p> <pre><code>{exp:plugin1:method arg="{exp:plugin2:method}"} </code></pre> <p>I’ve tried a number of different approaches.</p> <h2>Approach 1:</h2> <pre><code>{exp:plugin1:method arg="{exp:plugin2:method}"} </code></pre> <p><strong>Result:</strong> <code>Plugin1-&gt;method</code>’s <code>arg</code> parameter value is the string, <code>{exp:plugin2:method}</code>, and it’s never parsed.</p> <h2>Approach 2:</h2> <p>My understanding of the parsing order suggests that this might have different results, but apparently it does not.</p> <pre><code>{preload_replace:replaced="{exp:plugin2:method}"} {exp:plugin1:method arg="{replaced}"} </code></pre> <p><strong>Result:</strong> The <code>arg</code> parameter has the same value as approach 1.</p> <h2>Approach 3:</h2> <p>First I define a snippet (<code>snip</code>), whose content is:</p> <pre><code>{exp:plugin2:method} </code></pre> <p>Then in the template:</p> <pre><code>{exp:plugin1:method arg="{snip}"} </code></pre> <p><strong>Result:</strong> Same as approaches 1 and 2.</p> <h2>Approach 4:</h2> <p>Noting that plugins are processed in the order they appear, I have even tested simply placing an instance of <code>{exp:plugin2:method}</code> before the <code>{exp:plugin1:method}</code> call. My thinking is that I could wrap this first call in a regex replacement plugin in order to suppress output, but that it would trigger Plugin2’s parsing first.</p> <pre><code>{exp:plugin2:method} {exp:plugin1:method arg="{exp:plugin2:method}"} </code></pre> <p><strong>Result:</strong> <code>Plugin1-&gt;method</code>’s <code>arg</code> parameter value is the temporary hash placeholder for <code>Plugin2-&gt;method</code>’s output (MD5 I believe) that the Template class reserves until later.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
