Answers.Body: <p>hmm, wat do you mean with sub_entries? As a general pointer I would do it like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>{% set books = craft.entries.section('books') %} 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then loop over the books. </p>
  
  <p>To get back to your question, I would suggest moving all the different sections into 1 channel with multiple types in it. For example:</p>
  
  <p>Channel: Media</p>
  
  <p>Types: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Books</li>
  <li>Games</li>
  <li>Movies</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Then you can query them like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>{% set books = craft.entries.section('media').type(['books']) %}
  
  {% for entry in books %}
      &lt;h2&gt;{{entry.title}}&lt;/h2&gt;
  {% endfor %}
  </code></pre>

Body: <p>I am new to Craft CMS and although it is quite simple to use I am stuck on this one. I have 3 sections ('books', 'games', 'movies') and want to do the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% for sub_entry in craft.entries('{{ entry.sectionName }}').find() %}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that it gives me all sub_entries not just the ones within a specific section i.e. <code>entry.sectionName</code>? If I print out <code>{{ entry.sectionName }}</code> on my website it gives me the correct sectionNames but somehow I can not pass it on to the for loop?</p>
  
  <p>How do I solve this?
  Kind regards,
  Pete</p>

  I am new to Craft CMS and although it is quite simple to use I am stuck on this one. I have 3 sections ('books', 'games', 'movies') and want to do the following:
  
  ```
  {% for sub_entry in craft.entries('{{ entry.sectionName }}').find() %}
  
  ```
  
  The problem is that it gives me all sub\_entries not just the ones within a specific section i.e. `entry.sectionName`? If I print out `{{ entry.sectionName }}` on my website it gives me the correct sectionNames but somehow I can not pass it on to the for loop?
  
  How do I solve this?
  Kind regards,

  In Craft/Twig, you'll never need to nest `{{` and `{%` tags inside of each other.
  
  So:
  
  ```
  {% for sub_entry in craft.entries('{{ entry.sectionName }}').find() %}
  
  ```
  
  Should be:
  
  ```
  {% for sub_entry in craft.entries(entry.sectionName).find() %}
  
  ```

  hmm, wat do you mean with sub\_entries? As a general pointer I would do it like this:
  
  ```
  {% set books = craft.entries.section('books') %} 
  
  ```
  
  and then loop over the books.
  
  To get back to your question, I would suggest moving all the different sections into 1 channel with multiple types in it. For example:
  
  Channel: Media
  
  Types:
  
  * Books
  * Games
  * Movies
  
  Then you can query them like this:
  
  ```
  {% set books = craft.entries.section('media').type(['books']) %}
  
  {% for entry in books %}
      <h2>{{entry.title}}</h2>
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
