Topic Tag: Forms with post relationships

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to have their customer's edit their own content on the frontend.

Solution:

This can be done by creating a frontend edit form and following the instructions in the link below.
https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/

Problem:
The issue here is that the user was trying to get a value from the URL parameter but it wasn't working.

Solution:

In this user's case they did not set the correct url parameter attribute in their form field.

For this user they had urlparam="the-profile-id" as the form attribute url parameter but they are passing "the-hr-profile-id" in the url.

So the correct item should be urlparam="the-hr-profile-id". In a form field it would look like.
[cred_field field="@hr-profiles_wtn-document.parent" value="" urlparam="the-hr-profile-id" class="form-control" output="bootstrap" select_text="--- not set ---"]

Problem: I have two one-to-many post relationships that create a grandparent, parent, and child post. I have a Form that lets Users create child posts for a specific parent post. I would like to create a conditional group in the Form based on a field in the grandparent post.

Solution: Try this custom code in your child theme's functions.php file, or in a new snippet in Toolset > Settings > Custom code:

add_shortcode( 'ts-grandparent-field', 'ts_grandparent_field_func' );
function ts_grandparent_field_func( $atts ) {
  $a = shortcode_atts( array(
    'grandparent-parent' => null,
    'url-param' => null,
    'field' => null,
  ), $atts );
  if( !$a['grandparent-parent'] || !$a['url-param'] || !$a['field'] ) {
    return;
  }
  $parent_id = isset($_GET[$a['url-param']]) ? $_GET[$a['url-param']]: 0;
  if( !$parent_id )
    return;
  $grandparent_id = toolset_get_related_post( $parent_id, $a['grandparent-parent'], 'parent');
  if( !$grandparent_id )
    return;
  return get_post_meta( $grandparent_id, 'wpcf-' . $a['field'], true);
}

Then you can use it like this:

Class info: [ts-grandparent-field grandparent-parent="class-starting" url-param="parent_starting_id" field="class-info"][/ts-grandparent-field]

Problem:

make a new post form (child object) and i want in that form to be able to connect with a parent post (one to many rel.)

Solution:

So it is your custom JS codes errors prevent Toolset form from working, I suggest you debug your codes manually, or you can remove them and test again.
