Topic Tag: Post-relationship

Problem: I have a custom post type "Renter" that includes two Repeating Field Groups (RFGs) "Phone numbers" and "Email addresses". I would like to create a table View that shows all Renters and includes all of their phone numbers and emails as well.

Solution:
Use 3 nested Views. Create 1 View for Renters that builds the main table. Each row in the table represents 1 Renter. Create 1 View for Phone Numbers repeating field group (RFG), and 1 View for Email addresses RFG. You do not need to create a whole table for each repeating field group.

Set up your View of Phone Number RFG with a post relationship filter, set by the current post in the loop (which in your case will be Renter from View 1). Use the Loop Wizard to create an unordered list style View that outputs each phone number item. Insert the View of Phone Number RFGs in the View of Renters Loop Output, nesting the View shortcode in the correct table cell.

Set up your View of Email RFG the same way, with a post relationship filter set by the current post in the loop.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to set the parent post automatically when creating a chid post. Now the user will CREATE that parent post and when creating the child that parent should be set automatically.

Solution:

Add the following to your functions.php file

// Add Shortcode
function user_post_id( $atts ) {
 
    // Attributes
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'author_id' => '',
            'cpt' => '',
        ),
        $atts
    );
    $args = array(
        'author'        =>  $atts['author_id'],
        'orderby'       =>  'post_date',
        'order'         =>  'ASC',
        'posts_per_page' => 1,
        'post_type'=> $atts['cpt']
        );
    $post=get_posts($args); 
    return $post[0]->ID;
 
}
add_shortcode( 'user_post_id', 'user_post_id' );

Then on your CRED form where it has the Parent Field on the edit form page add this as the value [user_post_id author_id="[wpv-current-user info='id']" cpt='post']

Problem:
How to display Intermediary post type Custom Fields

Solution:
You can display the intermediary post type custom field using the "item" attribute.

For example:

[types item="@property-homeowner.association" field="status" option="wpcf-fields-radio-option-7fc78a2cbf047b5f9640123a3c54c5c1-1"]Current[/types]

Where:
- "property-homeowner" is the intermediary post type slug

Problem: I am unable to create a new related post from the post editor screen in another post type. A JavaScript error can be seen in the browser console: "ReferenceError: tinyMCE is not defined"

Solution: Update to the latest Release Candidates.

Problem: I have a form that creates child posts, and I would like to link them to a parent post in the new relationships system. How can I set a post relationship between two posts using the Post Relationship API?

Solution: This feature is not going to be available immediately when Types 3.0 is released, and unfortunately we do not have a public API available yet. If you need to set post relationships programmatically, I do not recommend upgrading.
