Related products not showing

[hibiscus]

I'm trying to get related products to show but although the heading gets displayed the actual product data is blank.

Here's the code:

Code Select Expand

<?php if (!empty($this->product->customfieldsRelatedProducts)) { ?>
       <h3><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_RELATED_PRODUCTS') ?></h3>
      <?php
      foreach ($this->product->customfieldsRelatedProducts as $field) { ?>
      <div style="display:inline-block;" class="product-field product-field-type-<?php echo $field->field_type ?>">
         <span class="product-field-display"><?php echo $field->display ?></span>
         <span class="product-field-desc"><?php echo jText::_($field->custom_field_desc) ?></span>
         </div>
      <?php } 
   } // Product customfieldsRelatedProducts END
?>
  </div>

If I actually look at what the contents of the $field variables are all I'm seeing is blank data:

Code Select Expand

object(stdClass)#182 (17) {
  ["virtuemart_custom_id"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["custom_parent_id"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["admin_only"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["custom_title"]=>
  string(31) "COM_VIRTUEMART_RELATED_PRODUCTS"
  ["custom_tip"]=>
  string(35) "COM_VIRTUEMART_RELATED_PRODUCTS_TIP"
  ["value"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["custom_field_desc"]=>
  string(36) "COM_VIRTUEMART_RELATED_PRODUCTS_DESC"
  ["field_type"]=>
  string(1) "R"
  ["is_list"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["is_hidden"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["published"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["virtuemart_customfield_id"]=>
  string(1) "5"
  ["custom_value"]=>
  string(3) "156"
  ["custom_param"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["custom_price"]=>
  NULL
  ["ordering"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["display"]=>
  string(0) ""

Am I doing something wrong or is VM somehow getting bad data for the related products?

Thanks for your help.

Did you set related products for the product with you are viewing/debugging?
It is fine with my end, VM 1.9.8 RC2M + J1.7.3

Sorry for the very long delayed response.  Thanks for the suggestion.  Yes, the related products are set in the database.  If I browse to the product in the back end I see the related products but in the template I get nothing displaying.
