Problem: I have a one-to-many relationship set up. On the parent post I would like to display a link so my site Users can easily create a new child post for this parent post. I would like to automatically set the correct parent post in the Form, and I don't want to allow Users to change the selected parent.
Solution: Forms offers a New Child Post Form link. It will redirect your Users to a page with the New Child Post Form displayed, and the parent post automatically set. To hide the parent post select field, use CSS display:none or similar. Even though the field is not shown, the correct parent will be set based on the automated URL parameter.
Problem:
I have a Post Relationship (O2M) where a Toolset Post Form creating new M-Posts offers a Parent Post Selector where the user can set the O-Post to which the new post will belong to.
I want to retrieve the value of that Select2 in $_POST and use it in a cred_save_data() to populate other items with it.
How to go about it?
Solution:
A Select2 Parent Post Field in a Toolset Form, assuming a relationship between pages and posts (O2M) can be retrieved with
$_POST["@post-page_parent"]
Note that the HTML input name of the Select2 will have a dot as in
@post-page.parent
But the $_POST will listen to the key with an underscore instead of dot, as in @post-page_parent
So you can get the proper name of the $_POST Select2 input with this process:
- either open the console and find the HTML input name, replace the dot with an underscore and use that
- or, simply var_dump() the $_POST in the Form and see the precise name of all and every $_POST items
We are building an esports platform that allows users to assemble into teams and then compete in tournaments. What I would like to ask is just for some guidance on a method for achieving this with Toolset.
On my EDIT POST form, I have geolocation field, when the user edits their post, I need to allow them to lookup their address using this field, just like they can when creating a post.
Solution:
It is possible to setup a custom address field in Toolset post form, for example, you can try these:
Problem: I am trying to insert an Edit Post Link shortcode inside the loop of a View, but I keep seeing an error message "Create a new Layout that will include the editing form. You can start from scratch or copy the template you use to display the content and modify it."
Solution: When using Toolset Layouts, it's best to place the Form in a Layout using a Forms cell rather than a Visual Editor cell.
