Hello,
I'm solving simple problem, and I need to render DataList of DataObjects. I created a template (see below). Then in my code i have $var = DataObjectXX::get()->limit(5); $html = $var->renderWith('template') //DataObjectXX has property ->a
//template
<% loop $Children %>
$a
<% end_loop %>
This is just a pseudo code, but the point is, $html does not contains rendered DataList items.
The template is rendered to frontend using Ajax call.

Can anybody help me, where could be the problem?

Thank you

When calling renderWith, the default scope in the template will be that object. DataList does not have a method named Children, so nothing is output.
Try <% loop $Me %>

I think a better (well, 'cleaner') way to achieve what you're trying might be:

public function ListAjaxThings() {
	return $this->customise(['TopFive'=>Thing::get()->limit(5)])->renderWith('template');
}

Thank you. It works
