I’m trying to display data from two Pods onto one page and I’m having issues with that. Mainly because I know I need to use multiple loops but with TwentyTen, things have changed so I’m wondering what the best method to do this is from now on. Especially since Pods uses a somewhat different syntax in some cases.

For example, here’s how I went ahead to find records from the two pods:

<?php

$found_artists = false;

global $pods;
$artists_slug  = pods_url_variable(-1);
$artists       = new Pod('artists', $artists_slug);

if( !empty( $artists ->data ) )
{
  $found_artists = true;

    // set our variables
    $artists_id        = $artists->get_field('id');
    $artists_name      = $artists->get_field('name');
    $artists_category     = $artists->get_field('category');
    $artists_biography    = $artists->get_field('biography');
    $artists_reviews      = $artists->get_field('reviews');
    $artists_links      = $artists->get_field('links');
    $artists_booking  = $artists->get_field('booking');
    $artists_slug      = $artists->get_field('slug');



  // data cleanup
  $artists_biography      = wpautop( $artists_biography );
  $artists_reviews      = wpautop( $artists_reviews );
  $artists_links      = wpautop( $artists_links );
  $artists_booking      = wpautop( $artists_booking );
}

<?php

$found_artists = false;

global $pods;

$artists_slug = pods_url_variable(-1);

$artists = new Pod('artists', $artists_slug);

if( !empty( $artists ->data ) )

{

$found_artists = true;

// set our variables

$artists_id = $artists->get_field('id');

$artists_name = $artists->get_field('name');

$artists_category = $artists->get_field('category');

$artists_biography = $artists->get_field('biography');

$artists_reviews = $artists->get_field('reviews');

$artists_links = $artists->get_field('links');

$artists_booking = $artists->get_field('booking');

$artists_slug = $artists->get_field('slug');

// data cleanup

$artists_biography = wpautop( $artists_biography );

$artists_reviews = wpautop( $artists_reviews );

$artists_links = wpautop( $artists_links );

$artists_booking = wpautop( $artists_booking );

}

?>
<?php

$found_downloads = false;

global $pods;
$downloads_slug  = pods_url_variable(-1);
$downloads       = new Pod('downloads', $downloads_slug);

if( !empty( $downloads ->data ) )
{
  $found_downloads = true;

    // set our variables
    $downloads_id        = $downloads->get_field('id');
    $downloads_name      = $downloads->get_field('name');
    $downloads_category     = $downloads->get_field('category');
    $downloads_file    = $downloads->get_field('biography');
    $downloads_slug      = $downloads->get_field('slug');



  // data cleanup
  $downloads_file      = wpautop( $downloads_file );
}

$found_downloads = false;

global $pods;

$downloads_slug = pods_url_variable(-1);

$downloads = new Pod('downloads', $downloads_slug);

if( !empty( $downloads ->data ) )

{

$found_downloads = true;

// set our variables

$downloads_id = $downloads->get_field('id');

$downloads_name = $downloads->get_field('name');

$downloads_category = $downloads->get_field('category');

$downloads_file = $downloads->get_field('biography');

$downloads_slug = $downloads->get_field('slug');

// data cleanup

$downloads_file = wpautop( $downloads_file );

}

Can that be combined into one?

Second, all the data I need from the first pod inquiry, Artists, shows up just fine on my page. No issues. The second, which is only used in one place, isn’t displaying. Probably due to no loop. So how would I integrate that now? Like this?

<?php

<?php

//The Query
query_posts(‘posts_per_page=10);

//The Loop
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php echo $downloads_name; ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<p>Sorry, no download available</p>

<?php endif;

//Reset Query
wp_reset_query();

Or some other method? This is where I got lost.

Is your Downloads Pod being used to display downloads related to a particular artist?
