# No luck with nested subloop or subloop-array

* I don’t like to ask for help until I’ve tried to resolve a problem myself, but
I cannot seem to get nested loops to work. Maybe I’ve missed something obvious,
but as I need to resolve this soon I’m hoping someone else can see it : )
* Here’s the feed I’m working with:
[http://www.smart-feeds.com/getfeeds.aspx?Param=event/live/open](http://www.smart-feeds.com/getfeeds.aspx?Param=event/live/open)
* And one example of where I’m at with the shortcode in WordPress:
* ```
[jsoncontentimporter url="http://www.smart-feeds.com/getfeeds.aspx?Param=event/live/open" numberofdisplayeditems="-1" urlgettimeout="10" oneofthesewordsmustbein="Football" oneofthesewordsmustbeindepth="2" basenode="liveEvents"]
{subloop:event:1}
{sport}
{group}
{name}
{/subloop:event}
[/jsoncontentimporter]
```
* This is fine. However, I cannot, however hard I try, find a way to retrieve the[
path] (array? ) information nested within each {event}.
* Likewise, I’m able to access the first-level data within the parallel {liveEvent}
which I need to match up with {event}. That’s fine. But again, the nested {matchClock}
or {score} I’m drawing a blank on. My {subloop} or {subloop-array} code is printing
out within the post for these, so something is not right.
* I must be making a syntax error or something, but I’m stumped.
* Found this link useful for an easy way to see the data structure: [](http://jsonviewer.stack.hu)
* Can you help?

* Hi Grey Man,
* accessing [path], {matchClock} or {score} is possible, the template-code is a
bit tricky.
* But there’s one issue: If “0” is the value of the JSON, yet nothing is displayed.
Here’s the deal: Donate what it’s worth for you, and I’ll fix this.
* Best
Bernhard

* Hahaha. I had a feeling you might say that. How about I donate $5 since that’s
honestly all I have in my PayPal account. Next month I’m happy to donate more.
Is that fair? : )

* Obviously it’s worth more than that. I apologize for the paltry sum.

* I’ll rembember you on 1st of april 😉
* try:
{subloop:event:1}{sport}
{group}{name}
{
subloop-array:event.path:3}{id} {englishName}{/subloop-array:event.path}liveData:{
subloop:liveData:3}eventId: {eventId}time: {subloop:liveData.matchClock:3}{liveData.
matchClock.period}{/subloop:liveData.matchClock} standing: {subloop:liveData.
score:3}{home} {away}{/subloop:liveData.score} {/subloop:liveData}{/subloop:event}
* “{home}” and “{away}” is “0” so this is not displayed and the described problem
I’ll fix.

* Aha! Thank you so much, I’ll try that. I’ve been banging my head against it for
hours. Didn’t realize I could use dot notation. Takes me back to my Flash ActionScript
days. Truly appreciate your help. And I’m sorry for the meagre donation. If you
don’t receive more next month, feel free to drop me a line with a gentle reminder!

* Thanks Bernhard. Perfect. For now I’ve solved the “0” issue by checking the blanks
with jQuery and inserting text where required. A working solution. Next stop
would be, I guess, ajax updating the scores from the json feed.
