Hi Martin,

It's Christian's off day and I was writing a reply to your other ticket ( https://toolset.com/forums/topic/custom-field/ ) when you confirmed that it was sorted out.

Your understanding is correct and in your single dog template file "single-dogs.php", the shortcode used would print only the title:

Sire : <?php echo do_shortcode( "[types field='dog-sire'][/types]");?></strong><br>
Dam : <?php echo do_shortcode( "[types field='dogs-dam'][/types]");?></strong><br>

You'll need to first get the IDs of those posts using the output='raw' attribute ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/#select ) and then use those IDs to get the post title link, through "wpv-post-link" shortcode ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#vf-153370 ).

Example:

<?php

// get the IDs
$dog_sire_ID = do_shortcode( "[types field='dog-sire' output='raw'][/types]");
$dog_dam_ID = do_shortcode( "[types field='dogs-dam' output='raw'][/types]");

// get the title links
$dog_sire_title = do_shortcode( "[wpv-post-link item='".$dog_sire_ID."']");
$dog_dam_title = do_shortcode( "[wpv-post-link item='".$dog_dam_ID."']");

?>

Sire : <?php echo $dog_sire_title;?></strong><br>
Dam : <?php echo $dog_dam_title;?></strong><br>

I hope this helps.

regards,
Waqar

Hi Martin,

I'm sorry I realized that and have included the code to echo the fields as well. Please reload the page and check the code snippet again.
