requinix Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I ignored everything in your post after the first few lines because it looked like unnecessary background information irrelevant to the question. $node is an object. You cannot simply echo it. Do something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
